This is what faith looks like. This is what strength looks like. This is what gratitude looks like. This is what patience looks like. This is what liberation looks like. The love of dunya is a deception, that has fooled many. Generations have been destroyed.
Islam is the cure to every pain. Every yearning we have ever had to connect to something true, something that lasts. The rest and peace that we all seek. The only attachment that is worth holding on to, is our attachment to our Creator. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى.
Allah sends us trials to see whom of His slaves will choose sincerity to Him, over the worldly pleasures of this life. It is in moments like these, that we even know for ourselves who we are. And it is in moments like these, that we know who are the people around us are.
Marvellous are the affairs of a believer. Not a thorn pricks us but it is for our betterment. Allah is to us, what our opinion is of Him سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى. It only takes some sincere reflection to come to a state of gratitude, humility and awe of Him The Most High. Over time we learn, bi’ithnillah to submit to His Will.
The Palestinians are a blessed people, they are the best people for us to look to. To know what faith looks like. This is another 9-11, another war based on lies. Like every other war. Only a corrupt people will not be able to see through the lies. It is not the eyes that are blind, but the hearts.
Eventually, Islam will reign upon the earth and it is only a matter of whether we question ourselves. Our intentions. Our beliefs. Whether we manage to purify ourselves of our attachments to this world, and learn to attach only to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى. Whether we manage to overcome our desires, for the sake of Allah.
When Allah sends us trials, it is a blessing. This world is merely a place of testing and nothing more. It is not to be coveted. It will be turned to dust. So let the fools and ingrates debase themselves by coveting it. The people of intellect use this world to earn good deeds, for the reward of the hereafter.
Do you think you will be admitted into Paradise without being tested like those before you? They were afflicted with suffering and adversity and were so ˹violently˺ shaken that ˹even˺ the Messenger and the believers with him cried out, “When will Allah’s help come?” Indeed, Allah’s help is ˹always˺ near.
