ALLAH comes FIRST
In the name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Benevolent. He has the power to destroy anything and everything with His Overpowering Might. His Blessings are far way greater than His anger. We all will be returned. We all will be questioned and not one can escape from His court. Each and every individual are advised to beg for His forgiveness and His mercy during daylight and especially when everyone else sleeps at night. He sees everything that humans don’t see, He knows what creeps behind us and He knows what we will be colliding with. He knows what we had done in the past and in the future. He has knowledge of everything. Even to the tiniest drop of a morning dew.
There is nothing in this world that can match His Supremacy. He had given humans countless chances to return to the right path so that humans can save themselves from hellfire. There is nothing more eerie than being thrown into the depths of hell. Laugh while you can. We try as much as we can to avoid from having more bad than good when we 'leave'. No matter how much we pray, no matter how much we beg and no matter how times we cry, there just never seemed enough to level what Allah had given to us. Let alone, to repay back what our parents had given. But does not mean we just loose hope? No. All we can do is to try as much as we can, to do the best as we can and to give the best as we can to Allah. We do everything just for Him, not for a man nor a woman, not a status nor for the fame and not for money nor for the land. Allah is our main objective and He is our main Target. If we are to aim for something other than Him, then, every tears, efforts and pains will deemed to be useless. Allah only accepts what is pure (sincere).
We should question out intentions to everything. For example, why do we work? Why to we study? Why do we get married? Why do we cook? Why do we pray? And most importantly, why we are here? It was mentioned in the Qur’an that humans and jinns are created only to prostate to Allah. From here we can understand and the underlying basis of life is actually to obey what is the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and make it practical. Actions do speak louder than words. Because there are many things that we want but difficult to get. Some of us may want big houses, big cars, attractive partners and a successful life, but the truth that matters is that, things we want are often tested by Allah. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad 's quest to spread Islam had many hardships. He had to deal with so many problems before Islam was known all over the globe.
We all have to fall if we were to gain and we have to stay strong if we want to obtain. So, is persistence the key? Its all dependent to what it is one is trying to achieve. The companions of Prophet Muhammad and himself sacrificed wealth, time & money just so they can get closer to Allah. They starved, they spend for Allah's cause, they had countless sleepless nights and so on. They physically exhaust themselves to get Allah's blessings. They loved Allah more than they loved themselves and they loved others as if they were their own. They were strict in every attitude and every action. They were harshly wise to those who are disobedient but very kind to those who obeyed Allah. Its a very rare scenery this days, to see someone who would actually give up their worldly possessions for Allah. Its mostly all about the money now. All about getting the piece of the action and all about being known. Some even had the guts to say that what has been brought down to Prophet Muhammad (Qur'an) was not even practical especially the rules of Allah. To get attention? Maybe..
Allah, He knows best for humans. Humans!? What do we know? We know how to eat, sleep and watch football matches early in the morning. Undeniably true. The majority of humans will never represent the minority. It was mentioned in the Qur'an that majority of humans are ungrateful. Now, which category do we feel we fall into? Perhaps, the minority mentioned in the Qur'an are those who stay true to themselves no matter what happens. They are those who prays with a broken knee and bows when everything was falling apart. They are those who spend most of their time remembering Allah and avoid unnecessary conversations. These people will do what they can do please Allah, they would leave what is haram. They would dislike matters which are disliked by Allah and the Prophet. May Allah protect those who tried/tries to protect His religion and may Allah reward them with the best gifts here and after.
Patience is perhaps the key to all of this both on earth and hereafter. Just like an eagle eyeing its prey well above the ground, waiting patiently for its prey to slip-up. That is when the eagle strikes with its deadly claws. It may take hours, days or even weeks when it can finally take a bite. Humans need to conquer its lust because if its not trained and fed properly, it might the primary cause of our sad demise. Patience and lusts are two things which we can be friends with or which can also be our enemy. Because if you were the kind who snaps uncontrollably over a tiny matter, then, most probably, you have no control over your own body, mind and soul. Let alone lusts. Satan will take charge of those who has a raging temper. When one of the companions of The Apostle asked for an advice, he then said to the companion NOT to get angry 3 times. From here, we can insya Allah conclude that, being angry at something other than to uphold the values of Islam should be avoided.
Every muslim should have the attitude of being angry when Islam is being scorned or somebody is making fun of our beloved Muhammad or anything related to that matter and NOt being angry at something like jumped the queue or somebody stole our food we left in the fridge and so on. Again, these things aren't easy to achieve as it will take time to patch up the past mistakes and clear the air that has been polluted. Avoid food which are shubahah (not sure if its halal or haram), avoid things which are forbidden to WATCH, HEAR & TOUCH because every action will always have its consequence. Its only a matter of time until we know the real truth of every thing.
With time, with tiny baby steps and minor positive changes, insya Allah, each and everyone of us will be able to control our anger, control our emotions and control our words and desires so our thoughts and actions are always directed to please Allah, always.
For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession. Before and behind him: they guard him by command of Allah. Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls). But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect. [Ar-Ra'd: 11]
