Do not Be Sad – Wait patiently for a Happy Outcome

.


An extract from: Don’t Be Sad (La Tahzan)
By: Dr. ‘Aaidh ibn AbdulLAH Al Qarni

BismilLAH, alhamdulilLAH, wassolatu wassalamu
‘ala RasulilLAH Sholla ALLAHU ‘alaihi wassalam

The following hadith is found in the book of At Tirmidhi:

“The best form of worship is to wait (patiently) for
a happy outcome”.

“Is not the morning near?” (Huud;11:81)

The morning of the afflicted is looming, so watch for it.
An Arab proverb says,

“If the rope becomes too tight, it will snap.”





In other words, if a situation reaches the level of crisis,
then expect a light and an opening to appear.

ALLAH Ta’ala says:

“And whosoever fears ALLAH and keeps his duty
to HIM, HE will make matter his matter easy for
him. And whosoever fears ALLAH and keeps his
duty to HIM, HE will remit his sins from him,
and will enlarge his reward.”
(Ath Thalaaq; 65:4-5)

In an authentic hadith, the Prophet (Blessings and
Peace be upon him) relates this saying from ALLAH:

“I am with the thoughts of My slave towards Me,
so let him think of Me as he pleases,”

Know that, truly, with hardship there is relief. Some
commentators of the Quran said (considering it to
be a hadith) that:

“One hardship cannot overcome two reliefs.”

The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said
in an authentic hadith:

“And know that victory comes with patience and
that relief comes with hardship.”





And Arab poet said:

“Some eyes are restless while others are in sleep,
In meditating that which may or may not occur,
So leave worrying as much as possible,
As carrying the burdens of anxiety is madness,
There is your LORD, who provided you with
solutions to yesterday,
And He will similarly provide for what is to
come tomorrow.”

Another said:

“Let events flow in their predestined path,
And do not sleep except with a clear mind,
Between the period of the blinking of the eye
and its opening,
ALLAH changes things from one state to
another.”

Do not worry about your wealth that is stored in
vaults. Unless you have faith in ALLAH, your
high castles and your green gardens will only bring
you worry, grief, and hopelessness.





Do not be sad: even the diagnosis of the doctor and
his medicine cannot make you happy if you have
allowed sadness to dwell in your heart, letting
it permeate your emotions and your existence.

Do not be sad: you have the ability to supplicate
to ALLAH and thus excel at humbling yourself
at the doorstep of the King of kings. You have
the blessed last third of the night to invoke ALLAH
and to rub your head upon the ground in prostration.

Do not be sad: you drink water that is pure,
you breathe fresh air, you walk upon two feet
in health, and you sleep the evenings in peace.

Assalamu’alaykum warahmatulLAHI Ta’ala
wabarokaatuh,

Dear beloved
Ayahanda Yusof, Bonda Faridah, Angah, Abang, ‘Ain, Adik, relatives and Brothers and Sisters of ISLAM (BASIS),

We are all Muslims who are trying to be ‘Mu'min’ and ‘Muhsin’.
To be better ‘Muslim’ or to be ‘Mu'min’, our Aqeedah, ‘Ibadah
and Akhlaq must be correct. May Allah S.W.T. make us
upon the Muttaqun, and May Allah make our ‘Aqidah,
‘Ibadah and our Akhlaq accepted by Him.
InsyaALLAHu Ta’ala.


Extracts from the Quran and the authentic Sunnah:





“ALLAH is the Protector of those who have faith
HE will lead them from the depths of darkness into
light. . As for those who disbelieve, their patrons
are the devils: from light they will lead them forth
into the depths of darkness. They will be companions
of the fire, to dwell therein (for ever).”

(AL-BAQARAH, 2:257)

“Whereby ALLAH guides him who seeks HIS good
pleasure to paths of peace and safety. HE brings them
out of darkness unto light by HIS decree, and guides
them unto a straight path.”

(AL-MAAIDAH,5:16)

“Those who deny OUR revelations are deaf and dumb
in darkness. Whoever ALLAH wills HE sends astray,
and whom HE wills HE places on a straight path.”

(AL-AN'AM,6:39)

And…

“O ALLAH, place light in my heart, light in my tongue,
light in my hearing, light in my sight, light behind me,
light in front of me, light on my right, light on my left,
light above me and light below me; place light in my sinew,
in my flesh, in my blood, in my hair and in my skin;
place light in my soul and make light abundant for me;
make me light and grant me light.”

[HR Bukhari]

p/s: Akhowat fillah..ismihni 'ala kulli hal …mankind
comes across many afflictions and trials, sometimes in overwhelming sequences. Removing the darkness of these worries, distresses,
depression and grief is a very important matter to which ISLAM
gives serious attention….Dear Brethren remember just remember
that "No harm or good can touch a servant of Allah except
with the permission of the All-Knower and All-Wise".
Saamihni ‘ala kulli hal, inni al faqiirah ila ROBBIha.
