DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 18th day of Jumaad-athaani 1446AH, Thursday. 19th Dec. 2024).
*_HOW TO ACT DURING HARD TIMES_*. Bismillah.
Whenever some people face hardship, they give up and walk away from their challenges or complain and blame those around them for the failure. They fall into depression, feel sad about their situation, and feel powerless. They don’t understand “why this is happening to them” or “what they did to deserve this”. But for a productive or good practising Muslim with knowledge, his/her way of thinking is completely different and must be.
Whenever a productive Muslim faces hardship, he/she takes a step back from their difficult situation and thinks about it from a higher level. They step back from their life with all its worries, anxieties, and problems, and think about it from an Akhira(hereafter) perspective, then they ask themselves the question: what does this ALL mean when compared to the Hereafter? What does this ALL mean when compared to eternity in Jannah?
One of the main misunderstandings we all have in this life is that if we do good, we should get good in this life and hereafter. This is not entirely true. This life is not the life we’ll get justice in. If this was the case, there would be no need for a Day of Judgement or Akhira. For believers, this life is like you're remaining one month or week to write your final exams. What happens? Sleepless nights, eagerness to be successful, lots of challenges, especially with maths, chemistry, etc, do you really take all that as difficulties that you should give up? No, isn't it? So why depressed and losing your eemaan due to life difficulties? Difficulties are trials from our Creator for us and our relatives to test our eemaan. Let's not fail these test.
*_May ALLAH keep guiding us through our little efforts to obey HIS rules and regulations in life seeking HIS Jannat_*. Aameen.
