'Allah it hurts; it hurts a lot.
I know You see me struggle day in and day out.
No love is greater than Your love.
I shall be patient for Your sake.
Fix my heart, comfort my soul, Ya Rab...!
‘O my Rab,
from the bottom of my heart,
I want to thank You for loving me,
forgiving me, healing me,
and never leaving me’.
When Allah likes a person, then the condition of His
liking is that He puts a lot of trials on that person. Allah tests that person
again and again, because Allah wants to be close to him; Allah just wants to
see how much patience and faith His servant has in his Rab.
God's plan is always the best. Sometimes the Process
is painful and hard. But don't forget that when God is silent, He's doing
something for you.
When someone speaks against you, speak well of them. When you are mistreated, treat them well. Repay Evil with Good, and God will fight your battles, Insha Allah.
4. Promise yourself no matter how
bad people treat you; [you will] never become a bad person to take revenge; still
be kind. Allah knows the beauty of your heart.
5. May Allah remove all your pain
and worries, and bring you happiness, Ameen.
6. May Allah grant every sick
person, a complete ‘Shifa’, expiate their sins for every moment of suffering
and grant them a quick recovery, Ameen.
7. Seek Divine
Forgiveness through this Duah:
‘Astaghfirullah
allazi La ilaaha illa Huwal Hayyul Qayyoomu wa atubu ilaihi’--- [I seek the forgiveness of Allah, there is no true god except Allah, the Ever-Living, the
Self Subsisting and I turn to Him in repentance].
8.
‘Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyoomu Birahmatika
Astagheesu’.---[‘O
Ever-Living One, O Everlasting One, by Your mercy I seek help’].
9. 'Allahumma inni as'aluka Taubatan
qablal maut. Wa raahatan indal maut. Wa Rahmatan ba'adal maut. Wal afwaa indal
hisaab.---[O Allah, I seek Your guidance to turn repentant unto You
before death; freedom from pain at the time of death; mercy and protection
after death].
10. 'Allahhuma Rabba Muhammad, ighfir fi dhambi wa adh-hib ghayza qalbi, wa a idhni min mudillati-l-fitan.'---[‘O Allah, Lord of Muhammad: forgive my sins, remove the anger of my heart, and protect me from misleading trials’].
Being a good Muslim is not just about Praying, Fasting and giving Charity. Being a good Muslim is also about being a good person: so, keep a clean heart; have good manners. Don’t judge others, and always strive to be the best human being you can be: may Allah guide us all to be better people and better Muslims, Ameen!
