Thank you so much for the article I really enjoyed it you have proven a really good point brother that many of us forget that in life we don’t always get what we want but we don’t know that sometimes allah(SWT) is doing us a favour by not granting us that which we wish for or desire we just have to keep in mind mind allah(SWT) knows best

I felt like I am getting answers to many of my questions which were boggling in my mind. Alhemdulah that I got clarity and will start to look beyond the surface of things. Inshallah.

Reminds me of how I cried so much–when they locked me up and took away my million-dollar toys–that they put me on suicide watch. The end result, mashaAllah, is my disability check, my government grants to finish school, and the Deen of Allah (swt) itself. Where would I be were it not for what Allah (swt) taketh away?

Very true and relevant in today’s time. How interesting that I logged onto this site and happen to read this article. I recently lost my job, which I really loved and was in close proximity to my school, the local masjid, and close to my brother’s job also. But as you said in the article, there is some benefit or lesson that is learned through these trials and tribulations. What happen next is that ALLAH allowed me to go to hajj, which I was planning on doing next year, but ALLAH wanted me to go now. I was happy and said subhanaallah, now I see the reason behind me losing my job.

Thank you.

Jazakillah kul khair for this wonderful reminder.

If I may, I would like to add to what was so elequently put.

The Prophet lost the two most beloved individuals to him in one year, Khadijah and Abu Talib (a.k.a the Year of sadness). The scholars have extracted many lessons from this year, but the one that is relevant to this topic is that Allah(swt) does not like to share our hearts with others. So to affirm that the prophet does not depend on anyone other than Allah(swt), he took away the two most beloved individuals to him. Thus, it is key that our hearts are solely attached and dependant upon “The Most Gracious The Most Merciful”.

As humans we all fall short and this is often due to the word..I ME, and MINE..which them leaves us to believe that we are in charge forgetting that we are to be submissive and depend only upon the will of Allah..All things take place via the will of Allah and we are only the vessels used to see them thru
