DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-ithnayn, 24th day of Swafar 1447AH, Monday, 18th August 2025.
*_BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues_*. BismilLah.
Yesterday, we reminded ourselves that calamities in our lives can also be blessings in disguise. Let's continue with some of the wisdom behind calamities:
5. Calamities provide an opportunity to think about one's faults and shortcomings and past mistakes. Because if it is a punishment, what was the sin?
6. Calamity is a lesson in Tawheed, faith, and trust in ALLAH Azzawajal
It shows you in a practical sense what you are, so you will realize that you are a weak slave, and you have no strength and no power except with your Lord, then you will put your trust in HIM in a true sense, and will turn to HIM in a true sense, and put aside your position, pride, arrogance, self-admiration and heedlessness, and you will understand that you are poor and in need of your Lord, and you are weak and need to turn to the Most Strong, the Almighty, may HE be glorified.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
Were it not that ALLAH Azzawajal treats HIS slaves with the remedy of trials and calamities, they would transgress and overstep the mark. When ALLAH wills good for HIS slaves, HE gives him the medicine of calamities and trials according to his situation, so as to cure him from all fatal illnesses and diseases, until HE purifies and cleanses him, and then makes him qualified for the most honourable position in this world, which is that of being a true slave of ALLAH (‘uboodiyyah), and for the greatest reward in the Hereafter, which is that of seeing HIM and being close to HIM."(Zaad al-Ma’aad, 4/195). TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW IN SHAA ALLAH. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
