Lessons- 23
‘The testing of a believer, male or female,
In respect to one’s person, children, and property
Will not cease until one meets Allah the Exalted
Unburdened by any sin’
*****
‘When Allah wants good for a mortal
Allah hastens affliction in this world;
And when Allah wants ill for a mortal,
Allah leaves him be with his sin
Until his soul is taken
on the Day of Resurrection’
*****
‘Be mindful of Allah,
And you will find Allah in front of you.
Acknowledge Allah in ease,
And Allah will acknowledge you in distress.
And know that what misleads you
will never enable you to do right,
And what enables you do right
will never mislead you.
And know that help comes with patience,
And that relief comes with distress;
And that with difficulty comes ease.’
*********
‘The state of the believer is wonderful;
Everything in it is good for him,
And for no one else but the believer
If happiness comes his way,
He is grateful and so it is good
for him;
And if adversity strikes him,
He is patient and so it is good for him’.
—From the sacred sayings of Holy Prophet
Muhammad (sa)
****************
There is No Storm
that Allah won't carry you through;
No Bridge
that Allah won't help you cross;
No Battle
that Allah won't help you win.
Trust Allah
And Never Give Up!
Aameen Summa Aameen
Ya Rabbul Alameen!
***********
What goes around comes around
And what goes up must come down.
Everything in the dark must come to light,
And you will reap what you sow

O my Rab,
Today I ask for nothing...
I just want to say
‘Thank you for walking with me this far,
Thank you for hearing my prayers;
For listening to me,
For carrying me,
For protecting me,
For healing me,
For blessing me,
For answering with what I need,
when I need
Thank you for loving me
Unconditionally
Let your peace,
Which passes all the understanding,
Continue to guard my heart,
The hearts of those l love,
my mind and soul
Ameen Summah Ameen
Ya Rabbul Aalameen!
