 *A Message 4 You*

[[--- Part 18 ---]]

بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Think of it like this. You are in a train. The train is moving. Outside the window, you see beautiful mountains. You see ugly deserts. You see sunny days. You see scary storms. But here is the serious truth:

The scenery outside does not matter.

What matters is one thing: Where is this train going?

You did not buy the ticket. Allah (swt) put you on this train. The destination is decided. You are going back to Him.

My People,

This world is not for enjoying the view. It is a test. A very, very short exam. Yes. You are sitting in the exam hall right now. Every problem you face—no money, sickness, losing a job, losing a loved one, fear, sadness, pain, delayed marriage, troubles in marital relationship—this is your question paper.

What do you do in an exam? Do you cry over the difficult question? Do you get angry at the paper? No. You focus. You write your answers. Your answer is your patience. Your answer is your faith. Your answer is saying "Alhamdulillah"—even when your heart is breaking.

So, stop worrying over things that borders you. Yes. It is useless. It is like crying over a math problem instead of solving it😃.

Your job is not to control the view outside the train. Your job is to pass the test.

My People,

Look at Prophet Ayyub (A.S). Allah loved him. So Allah (swt) tested him. He lost his wealth. He lost his health. His body was full of sickness. He lost all his children. In one day. What did he say? Did he say, "Allah, why me?" Did he get angry? No.

He held on to his relationship with Allah. He knew it was a test. He passed with the highest grade.

And then? Allah (swt) turned to him. Allah gave him more than he ever had before. Mercy upon mercy. Why? Because Prophet Ayyub (A.S) understood the rules of the exam.

Rule 1:

The test is temporary. The result is forever.

Rule 2:

Saying "Alhamdulillah" is not for good things only. It is the answer sheet for all things. It means, "I accept this test from You. I trust Your plan."

Rule 3:

Shaytan's only trick is to make you look at the scary view outside the moving train, and forget the destination. Yes. He wants you to fail the exam by complaining (after all, worrying or complaining can not change anything, rather than getting yourself injured).

My People,

Every single situation is a question from Allah, written just for you. Your "Alhamdulillah" is the pen that writes the perfect answer.

The result day is coming. On that Day, you will see your paper. You will see every time you said "Alhamdulillah" in pain. It will shine like a diamond. Allah (swt) will say, "My slave passed the test." You may get what you exactly wanted and sometimes the rewards of your passing the test may be something better. The reward may be Paradise. Forever. Nearness to Allah. Forever.

By worrying, you are failing the test. By saying "Alhamdulillah," you are passing with flying colours.

Be like Prophet Ayyub (A.S). Let your life be a celebration of gratitude to Allah, in every single scene outside the window of the moving train. The train is moving. The destination is sure.

Say it. Mean it. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah for everything.
