 *A Message 4 You*

[[---- Part 1 ----]]

بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

My Brother, My Sister! This is not just a story. This is for you, right now.

The lives of the Prophets and the early Muslims are not like a movie you watch and forget. They are a guide for your life today. They are a key to a peaceful and fulfilled heart.

Let us think about two simple but huge truths.

*Truth No 1: Your Life is Already Written.*

Your provision (your Rizq) – your food, your money, your job, your spouse – and everything that will happen to you, was written by Allah (swt) even before you were born.

So, no matter what happens, you will always receive the Rizq that Allah has destined for you. Yes. You will not get less, and you will not get more. It is fixed.

But wait!

Does this mean making Du'a (duplication to Allah) is useless?

No. Not at all.

This is the beautiful secret.

Your provisions and the Du'a you make are both part of Allah's plan (Qadr).

Allah (swt), in His perfect knowledge, has written: "If My servant asks Me for this thing, I will give it to him. And if he does not ask Me, I will not give it to him."

So, you see?

The Du'a you make is the key to the doors Allah has already planned to open for you. Asking Allah is part of the plan for you to receive. So, never stop making Du'a. It is your powerful tool.

*Truth No 2: Look at Your Blessings & Not Your Problems.*

Allah (swt) says in the Quran:

كٓهيعٓصٓ - Kaf, Ha, Ya, 'Ayn, Swad.
"This is a story about His mercy to His servant, Prophet Zakariyyah". 📚(Q19:1-2)

When we read the abov, a question pops up: Was Allah's mercy ONLY for Prophet Zakariyyah?

No. Allah's mercy is for you too.

But sometimes, our problems are so big in our eyes that we forget this. We forget the thousands of blessings we are swimming in.

Let us change our view.

(1) If your marriage is delayed... remember, many of your age mates have passed away. You have the blessing of life.

(2) If you are married for years without children... remember, many people older than you are still praying to find a spouse. You have the blessing of a partner.

(3) If your marriage has failed... remember, many are looking for just one chance to get married, even once. You had that chance, and you can have hope for another.

This is the mind-blowing point:

The early Muslims, like Prophet Zakariyyah (A.S), were not superhumans. They were people like us. They had problems, big problems. Yes. Prophet Zakariyyah (A.S) prayed for a child until he was very old. But he never stopped looking at Allah's mercy. He never stopped making Du'a.

So, my brother, my sister, this is for you.

Stop seeing the stories of the past as just stories. See them as a direct message for your life today.

(A) Trust in Allah's Plan. Your Rizq is guaranteed. Work hard, but do not break your heart over what you don't have. It was not written for you yet, or it was not written for you in that way. Allah has something else.

(B) Never Stop Making Du'a. It is the weapon of the believer. It is how you unlock the good that Allah has already planned for you.

(C) Count Your Blessings, Not Your Problems. When you feel sad, look at what you have, not just what you lack. You are submerged in Allah's mercy, just like Zakariyyah was.

This is the way to a peaceful heart. This is the way to a fulfilled life. This is the way of the successful Muslims before us. And it can be your way, today.
