Assalamualaikum Warahmtullah Wabarakatuhu,
So I’ve recently come to realise there is life on this blog!
People have actually read my posts, ok all three of you! But so be it, my
deepest apologies for not being up to date with posting new things, but I really
don’t like to force things. Alhumdulillah I’m here now :)
The reason for this post are several things, many of which
made me thank Allah for things that I never even wanted to happen, but nevertheless
they were all good for me. I am writing about Qadr Allah.
For me it has taken a long time, years even to grasp this
concept properly, but only recently have I really appreciated it. Qadr Allah
can never ever not be a beautiful thing and is something each and every one of
us should realise in order to live a fulfilled and content life.
I’ll give you an example, a close neighbour of mine got
married several years ago, to someone who had an amazing job, nice car, his own
house, but the relationship soon turned very, very sour. I won’t go into
details. By the time they divorced they had a beautiful child. When she came
back to her parent’s house, nobody could believe what had happened, I, myself
was in shock as to why it had happened to such a decent, lovely girl. She was
now a single mother. Her parents would cry, she remained strong. SubhanAllah a
couple of years later she had found herself someone to marry, by the Will of
Allah, he was also a single parent! I cannot express in words how happy they both
are now and have recently had a child together, giving them a total of three
beautiful children, mashaAllah, tabarakAllah!!
You see she had to go through a failed marriage to get to
where she is, Allah had willed her to have a child with her first husband, so that she
could meet her present husband, who was in a position to accept her as well as her child.
I cannot thank Allah enough for saving me from situations i thought were good for me, but in hindsight were clearly not! There have been times where a proposal comes and
it doesn’t work out (not that many ok!! Lol) at the time I ask myself why? But almost
immediately I feel content. I still don’t
know WHY they said no, or why I didn’t get that job i applied for, but I feel ok and I feel
happy. Shall I tell you why, I honestly believe it’s because when I pray to
Allah the Most Merciful, for anything, instead of saying ‘Ya Allah grant me so
and so in marriage, or grant me so and so as my job’, I say ‘Ya Allah grant me
that which is BEST for me, in this life and the hereafter, and take that which
is bad for me, away from me’.
We as individuals need to come to terms with Qadr allah, we
should understand that if today we are being rejected by our parents, friends,
kids, potential spouses, ex-spouses, jobs, or we fall ill, poor or
depressed that tomorrow Allah will replace it with something better, as long as
we accept his DivineWill. inshaAllah. Not a
leaf falls without His knowledge, so you think he doesn’t know that you’re
suffering. Be patient my friend, THIS is the path He’s taking you on to get to
that which is better for you ! : )

words to live by!
Please forgive me if i have said anything wrong, and any goodness is from Allah swt alone. Keep me in your duas!
