Allah Knows While you Know Not Never take things for granted.

Allah does not talk to any being other than the prophets- directly. Therefore we must be alert and observe the little things around us. Sometimes when you feel depressed about a certain matter in life and may have no one to talk about it to, your conscience may drive you to do a certain thing that ends up being for your benefit. Or you might bump into an article that makes you feel like Allah is talking directly to you or someone may text you or post something on your wall with something that makes you smile. All these things are NOT random. They are well planned by Allah Swt exclusively for the Consolation of YOUR sad heart. Allah knows exactly what you need and Sometimes He delays it for your benefit. And in the midst of the long wait he doesnt leave you abandoned. He listens to the complaints of your silent tears. He increases your rank in His sight with every word of dua that escapes your lips. He brings you closer to Him and writes you amongst His beloved ones if you are patient in your difficulty. You are personal to your creator. Your tests and trials are carefully planned out for your entrance into jannah. So when you see yourself giving up hope, remember the ayat in Surah Baqarah-verse.214 Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "Where is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near. Imagine that- even the prophets were shaken! The Ones with the most powerful connection to Allah- use to wonder where the help of Allah is? Why? Because they were human. And the difficulties they went through used to hurt their hearts just like the way what we go through, hurt our hearts. But what made them different? Their attitude in their tawakkul. Yes I said it right. Attitude WHILST having tawakkul is important. It strengthens the foundation of your reliance on Allahs decree and makes what you are going through so much easier. You can cry, but you cant wail. You can complain, but not to anyone but Allah. You can question, but you should never Question the decree of Allah that has come to pass- in Surah Ala-Imran- Verse 156 Allah mentions a specific trait of a hypocrite- a trait that Im sure all of us are secretly guilty of having. O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do. This is not only in the case of death, rather it is in any situation . The dangerous if only attitude is one we seek refuge from and should make an effort to never let our tongues utter even in the internment of our lips, because this weakens our Iman, creates a graveyard of regret in our hearts and makes us feel like it was all somehow in OUR control, when it is actually quite the contrary. So whether you are struggling financially or grieving the loss of a loved one, or going through turbulence in your marriage or finding it hard to get married itselfRemember the wisdom of Allah is greater that the pain of the test you are currently in. And during those low, spiritually depressing moments, when you find yourself asking why is this happening to me? It doesnt make any sense STOP THERE. Take it back. Because . perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. Why? Because Allah Knows, while you know not. (Baqarah 216)
