Re: Dispair!!!
why is it that we can never be thankful for countless blessings we have instead of what we DONT have or get. i am assuming you have two eyes, two ears, sense of smell, taste. i am sure your body parts are working fine too. i am also assuming that you're educated or in the process of getting there, you're capable enough to work, make a living, support yourself and your family.
have you ever thought of people who don't have any of the above? there are millions, MILLIONS out there who are blind, deaf, handicapped in some way and yet many of them would not talk how you are right now. I have seen people living on streets with no food, no money and no help. they dig for food in the garbage to satisfy their hunger, sleep in freezing winter with no blanket or sweater. It's sad that a few temporary things are making you break down like this when there are so many people who are suffering from permanent torture such as loss of senses or body parts or mental disabilities.
why is it that all these blessings you are gifted with are not enough for you to be thankful and worship Allah swt but instead, you insist on distancing yourself from Him because of a few temporary things? Life is not easy, we all know it. Everyone has to encounter ***holes of relatives/people every now and then. Everyone has gone through their shares of ups and downs. Noone can understand your situation better than you but you need to sit down and realize what you're doing. But even then, nothing you say can justify you turning against your religion and against the creator who has blessed you with SO much. go out one day and meet some of those people. take a look at their life and reality will hit you, i can guarantee you that.
"In the Quran, Allah comforts us by continuously reassuring us that He desires for us ease not hardship, despite the seemingly formidable trials and tribulations that we may sometimes face. He says:[INDENT]*'God desires ease for you, and desires not hardship' *(2:185)
*'Truly with hardship comes ease' *(94: 6);
*'God will assuredly appoint, after difficulty; easiness' *(65:7);
*'Whoso fears God, God will appoint for him, of His command, easiness' *(65:4);
*'We shall speak to him, of our command, easiness' *(18:88);
*'God desires to lighten things for you, for the human being has been created weak' *(94:28).
To say, however, that Islam is easy and not 'difficult', is not to imply that Muslims will not face 'hardship'-and here the two terms must be distinguished. Indeed, although Islam is easy to understand and practice, the whole purpose of the trial is to make manifest the degree to which an individual is steadfast (and hence sincere) in his submission to Allah- and this is precisely what is indicated by the Quranic verse:
'And We will most certainly test you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of possessions and lives and crops'(2:155).
Notwithstanding these trials however, we can find ease in this world and the next. But, this will be so only if we are firm in our faith in Allah and follow the course prescribed by Islam, as He Himself has declared:
'But give good news to those who are patient, who, when a calamity strikes them, say: 'Indeed we belong to God and indeed to Him we shall be returning: They are those on whom are blessings from their Sustainer, and mercy-and those, they are the rightly-guided.(2: 155-157).
