La Tahzan Innallaha Ma’ana

Assalamualaikum

How was your day? well i hope we all doing great, feeling well. Alhamdulillah.

One of my favourite verses from the Qur’an. That always calms me down no matter what.

“La Tahzan Innallaha Ma’ana”

Don’t be sad indeed, Allah is with us.

I pray that we benefit from the words that follow and they bring some peace to our heart and thoughts.

Dear My Self

I may not know what you are going through but I understand that life has been hard. We have a lot of questions running through our mind right now about our life and why things are the way they are.  I may not have the answers to those questions but I hope that my words may help you in some way or the other, if Allah wills.

Firstly, did you know that for every pain that you have been going through, a few of your sins are being expiated?

“No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even though it were the prick he receives from a thorn.”

Yes, we heard that right.. even if a thorn pricks us, our sins are being cleansed. So, imagine how many of our sins might have already been expiated because of the pain we have been going through all along! SubhanAllah!

Allah knows that we are hurt, He sees and He never does any injustice.. that’s why, for every calamity that befalls us, He gives us something good in return!

Put our trust in Allah! And know that even though today the world is not on your side, you are not alone. Allah (subhaana wa ta’aala) is watching over us and He WILL give us our due right! He will replace the sad days with the happy ones. Trust Him..

He is our creator.. and He has the knowledge of the unseen. He can see what we can’t and He knows what’s best for us..

“But it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows, you know not.” (Surah Al Baqara 2:216)

So, know that whatever is happening right now will eventually lead to something good. I know today all we can see is the downside of it.. but tomorrow we will smile and say Alhumdulillah for it! Because.. Allah LOVES us.. and He knows what is best for us.. So seek refuge in Allah..

“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that which it can bear”

Quran (Surah Al Baqarah 2:286).

So if today there is something that’s happening which is burdening our soul, remember Allah knows our capability better than us, and so BELIEVE that we can and will survive through this situation we are in today because Allah says so, and Allah knows best right?!

It could also be that Allah sent away all those people in your life, so that there could be just you and Him!

So, wipe away those tears. Take out your prayer mat, sit down, raise your hands, cry if have to and tell Allah EVERYTHING that’s on our mind and heart. It’s not that Allah does not know, but do it so that it decreases the load that you have been carrying in your heart all along!

I pray that Allah rewards us every breath we take at this time of difficulty and He relieves us of the pain soon.

So smile 

“Don’t be sad, Allah is with us!”

I am nowhere near a perfect Muslimah. I still have so much to learn and I want to keep on learning. Every day I ask myself, "How far are you from Jannah?".

I'm a Muslim, Islam is perfect but I am not.
