WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND TRIALS YOUR TROUBLES ARE OVER*

*WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND TRIALS YOUR TROUBLES ARE OVER*

I like to share with you a winning strategy that has kept me ahead of all my trials and challenges. If this humble suggestion from me is all you can read  and implement in your life, I am very confident you will praise Allah for ever for granting you the keys to true success. Those who  understand trials are never affected by it whether it comes by way of honour or humiliation, prosperity or adversity, promotions or demotions, appointments or disappointments, appreciation or lack of it.

A trial is defined as whatever comes your way as a human being whether good or bad. Allah says we shall test you with what you consider as bad and what you consider as good. Both are trials. Read Quran 21 vs 35. So when you are granted life, do not over rejoice, you are on trial. Your Lord wants to test you and discover what you will do with what you have been blessed with and what you have been denied.

 *SECRET 1:* Be grateful over what you have by worshipping Allah ceaselessly like those who are still seeking  it. Do not because of your position forget salat, zakat, da'awah etc. Live like the ordinary Muslim you have ever been.

*SECRET 2:* Be patient over what you lack by worshipping Allah ceaselessly like those who have been granted. If you claim you are patient then be steadfast in worshipping Allah. Do not look at those who have been granted as having anything above you. They only have more trials than you do. If you look back you will see millions who lack what you have. Some are just seeking good health in their lives. Others want to breathe by themselves and not through a life support machine. Look back and be grateful for being alive. When there is life there is hope. More Interesting is the fact that Allah will never take you to task over what you do not have. Spend only from what we have given you. If you do not have, Allah will never ask you to go and steal or borrow. You will still make the same Al jannah with your few coins that the millionaire must spend millions to attain. Allahu Akbar!

That is why He relieves us of challenges in several situations. If Allah asks you to use water for ablution and you do not have water or it is not healthy for your skin to use water due to an illness, you are allowed to  perform sand ablution. If Allah asks you to observe fasting and you are sick, He asks you to abstain from fasting. If Allah asks you to perform Hajj and you have the intention but do not have the means, you will be rewarded like those who performed it because your Lord will never ask you what He has not given you. We lose nothing when we lack. Allahu Akbar!

*SECRET 3:* Know that Allah is the examiner and you are the one being examined. You can not choose the examination question. Only the examiner sets the questions. He tests us differently with wealth or poverty, good health or poor health, sound mind or imbecility, strength or weakness, leadership or followership, authority or persecution etc
To enable us pass the examination He has revealed the syllabus,the scheme of work, past questions and marking schemes all available in the Quran and Hadith.
There is nothing happening to you which has not been foretold in the Quran. You can also read about those who faced similar trials in the past and how they were able to overcome it. Take Qarun and Sulaimon as word and opposite. Both were given wealth. Qarun was ungrateful while Sulaimon was grateful and devoted in spite of having more than Qarun. Also take Pharaoh and Dhul Qarnain when it comes to Authority and power. Pharaoh misused it to persecute and oppress while Dhul Qarnain used his power and authority to help and benefit humanity.

*SECRET 4:* Always understand that your knowledge about events is limited. You may dislike a situation and there may be a lot of good in it for you. Conversely you may like or desire a situation and there may be a lot of evil in it. Allah knows while you know not. Therefore be very careful and cautious when events unfold. Always respond by saying Allah knows best. You will be surprised that it will turn out prosperous.

*SECRET 5:* Be very humble in spite of your elevation. Even if you are higher than some people you can never be higher than the Lord who created you. Therefore do not let your appointment change your normal way of life. Be yourself at all times. Do not forget your family, colleagues and friends.

*SECRET 6* Do not be disappointed over your failure to attain a desired position. When a door closes, several doors are about to open which were not known to you. Allah may close a door to save you from the treachery and evil machinations of enemies.  Be satisfied with Allah's decision in your life. Allah is always correct.
Assalamu alaykum and do have a wonderful day..

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
