*The Happiest Woman in the World*
*(A Treasure Chest of Reminders)*
*Part 1 of 5*
*REMEMBER THE SHED TEARS AND BROKEN HEARTS*
"...It may be that Allāh will afterward bring some new thing to pass." [Qur'an 65:1]
One of the literati said:
If you believe that you have a covenant with time such that things will only be the way you want in all your affairs, and you will only be given what you want and desire, then it makes sense to give yourself free rein to grieve every time you do not get what you want or when obstacles come between you and your goal. But if you are aware that things alternate, sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you miss out, and that life never gives you a gift and then forgets about it, rather it will come to take it back, and that this is the way life is for all the sons of Ādam, whether they live in palaces or hovels, for the one whose limit is the sky and the one who sleeps on the bare ground. So try to calm your grief and wipe away your tears, for you are not the only one stricken with calamities and your problems are nothing new or unjust in the annals of calamity and grief.
"Stop regretting your sin and think about the good deeds with which you are going to replace it."
*{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāh Wills)...}*
*"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."* (Qur'an 51:55)
