*THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD*
(A TREASURE CHEST OF REMINDERS)
Episode 31
*BEWARE OF DESPAIR AND FRUSTRATION*
"... And He is Ever Most Merciful to the believers." [Qur'an 33:43].
A young man was jailed and his mother had no one else but him. She could not sleep and distress took hold of her completely. She wept until she could weep no more, then Allāh guided her to say, "Lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā Billāh (there is no power and no strength except with Allāh)." She repeated these great words, which are one of the treasures of Paradise, and only a few days after she had despaired of her son ever coming out of jail, he was knocking at the door and she was filled with joy. Such is the reward of the one who puts his trust in Allāh, calls upon Him constantly and delegates all his affairs to Him. So you should recite this dhikr, "Lā hawla wa Lā quwwata illā Billāh (there is no power and no strength except with Allāh)," for these great words, are the secret of happiness and success. Recite them a great deal, chase away the spectres of grief and distress with them, and receive the glad tidings that Allāh will soon grant you happiness and a way out. Beware of losing hope or becoming frustrated for there is no hardship but it is followed by ease. This is how it has always been and there is no need to discuss it. Think positively of Allāh, the Exalted, and put your trust in Him; seek that which is with Him, and wait for a way out.
"Do not make your problems the subject of conversation with others, for by doing so you create a barrier between yourself and happiness."
