Before you even reply to this thread please make dua for us.. we are going through a very very difficult time.
Anyways my question is regarding sabr.. we read about it all the time but how do you deal with hardship? When your heart is constantly crying how do you get that sabr? How do you get that peace?
I have been trying to keep my salat, do nafl, pray and recently I am going through stories about Prophets who went through much more than us but were pateint and I am trying to remember that Allah will reward us for this sabr, inshAllah.
Is there anything else I can be doing to make me stronger?
dear PHAT.... as long as u pray to Allah swt, ask for magferat and read ur salah and Quraane Pak then inshallah Allah swt will answer ur prayers....we inshallah come out as much stronger mumeens.. see this as ur imtihaan - with true perserverance inshallah all will be well.... praying for all Regards
sis phatbalongri..asalamalaykum…i do not have a way for using fancy words..but i just want to pray to Allah to remove ur pains and that He gives u ease ameen!!theres a hadith of the Prophet SAW that even if a thorn pricks a Muslim,its a means for getting some sins removed..so for every tear and every moment of sadness you go through..Allah Taala will compensate u by removing your sins inshallah and make it a means for u to come closer to Him!
so dont be sad!
sis this is a link to an AMAZING book(alhamdulliah) called “Dont be sad!” with references from Quran and Sunnah!Do go through some of the chapters insha’Allah!
Thanks everyone for your dua.. Some days are good some days I just can't get myself to stop worrying for my loved ones. It is definately the most difficult thing to see your family falling apart and your loved ones going through emotional as well as physical pain.
You are the second or the third person to suggest that book. I will definately read through it. Have you read anything like this in Urdu that I couldbuy for my mother?
PhatBalongri, we are all praying for you here. Also, try to solace yourself with the fact that there are ppl out there who are (maybe) going through worse. My mom always tells me to look beneath me everytime I am stressed out.
I am also going thru a tough patch in life right now. I used to be very very regular with my salah before I got married, but after married life (alhamdulillah I was very happy), I started getting lax. I just lost that connection with Allah SWT b/c I often had no time to be home or just take note of the fact that I'd missed my salah. And I clearly remember that this one fine day I said to Allah to not give me so much peace in life that I forget HIM.
Like everyone's told you, if Allah puts you to it, he will pull you through it, and every little pain is a way of washing away your sins. Be strong, and I don't think there is any bigger solace to the heart that praying to Allah. Keep your iman strong, Allah is just testing you. And ask Allah to give you sabar, and to give peace to your heart. Nothing is better than just reading the Quran... I personally find that brings peace to me, as opposed to just fixing a few surahs with every salah. I also sometimes read Durood e Muqaddas (you would prolly have access to it in a pansuurah). I find that also brings a lot of peace to my heart and I usually read it after I've read the Quran for a bit. Just keep you faith strong. I will remember you in my prayers :)
Thanks.. I know what you mean.. I feel the same way. Last year about this time I was going through a very very difficult time, almost worst than this and I became very regular with my prayers, duas, etc but then when i was at peace I was lazy and ignorant.. hopefully this time the changes I make will be permanent inshAllah.. And inshAllah this time will pass..
