Oh Allah Return Us To You In A Beautiful Way

When I cry or lose or bruise, so long as I am still alive, nothing is ultimate. So long as there is still a tomorrow, a next moment, there is hope, there is change, there is redemption. What is lost, is not lost forever.
Then, once the child has regained focus of his priorities, regained sanity and balance, once things are put in their proper place in his heart and mind and life, what happens? You give the gift back. Or perhaps something better. But this time, the gift is no longer in his heart. It is in its proper place. It is in his hand.
Yet in that process of taking, the most important thing happened. The losing and regaining of the gift is inconsequential. The taking of your heedlessness, your dependence and focus on other than Him, and the replacing it with remembrance, dependence and focus only on Him was the real gift. Allah withholds to give.
I have been struggling and striving for 7 years in order to achieve one main objective, last week i finally achieved it and was extremely happy and overjoyed. However due to internal family problems i had to refuse it and ended up rejecting it and now i will have to wait at least another 4 years to get it back again which is very upsetting as i may be unable. I have been depressed over my loss this last few days and i will be for a long time to come. I am forced to accept patience as the article describes yet it is very hard and difficult to let go a lost dream, a dream which has crashed and expect to wait for something else to replace it.

MashAllah, sister. Great article. Made my morning,really! This is what Allah wanted me to see, I am blessed to learn all this to help calm the inside self of mine for the better. I am starting to see why what I cherished so much in the past did not actually make it to my future. Because Allah wants something better for me and i pray that inshAllah the best happens for me. Thank You Allah for making me find this article.

Can someone kindly give me a perspective? I love the article. Mashallah it is beautiful! There was a time in my life when I lost everything and I kept praying and praying for a blessing, to get married. Soon after I got engaged to the man of my dreams and he is a blessing for me. However, we are having many problems and I have this intense FEAR he will be taken away from me? I need a perspective.
Subhanallah. I cried reading through the post. Allah is indeed the Most Merciful. Ive recently loss the love of my life, and has been really sad for the past few months. i kept on thinking, why would Allah took him away for me, why Allah set us apart, i couldnt see any rational behind what was happen. To my defense, i love him because of Allah, i see myself being married to him, having a blessed relationship, and truly he made me so happy, i felt so despair upon losing him.
I seek comfort in reading Quran, i pray and i didnt stop praying to Allah to bestow me with some peace of mind and try to accept and try to look at this as a new starting point. Maybe, Allah has a better plan, but at night, i cant help but to wonder, why this happen. I keep on questioning and when i failed to find any answer, i got frustrated with myself and almost started to blame myself for all of this to happen.
Can anybody please tell me how to cope with the grieving for my broken marriage. I am so so lost right now and even though I am a Moslem I am struggling to see a brighter day and upset I have lost him forever. Heartbreaking.
Allah is not there to see us suffer. When He gives us a test, He will definitely bring us through it. Allah wants us to be near to Him, by elevating our ranks through the trials and tribulations. What matters is the way we respond to these tests.
Jazak-Allah what a great work is done by you. People leave each other in this belief that they got better than them. We get people better than them but not that people. The presents of that people gives us comfort. The impressions of their faces are the comfort of our heart. This article has got a place in my heart and mind. A great work is done by you in the right way.
So Allah turns to the person first, knowing that this person has a good heart and sincerely wants to repent, this allows the person to think of/seek repentance, and then Allah accepts the repentance and guides the person and shows mercy and blessings.
Indeed Allah is not a faraway deity, tough to deal with or hard to please. On the absolute contrary, Allah is the Nearest to us and Closest to us; He is The Most Merciful one towards us and He is the One who always opens doors day and night for us to return to Him always.
The problem is, because what you got yourself into was an injustice against your own self, your heart started to harden and get heavy. Our hearts get hardened when we commit sins and wrongdoings, and they soften and lighten up when we do good deeds.
Our action plan now is that you need to repent from whatever wrong that happened. There are steps or rules for a successful, healing repentance that brings the person back beautifully onto the straight path.
3- Attend doroos (religious gatherings for seeking knowledge) to learn about your deen, about Allah, about marriage in Islam, about tazkiyyah (purification of the self) and about Jannah. All of this will expand your heart, and you might find righteous companions to spend time with and stay away from all harms. Finding righteous role models, sisters you can rely on and look up to is very important in this path.
So, blessed is your new start, my sister, have glad tidings from Allah (SWT) and start anew, Allah always accepts us and helps us lead and pure, good and righteous life that is fitting for His honorable servants.
Sahih International: Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.
Yusuf Ali: Who is he that will loan to Allah a beautiful loan, which Allah will double unto his credit and multiply many times? It is Allah that giveth (you) Want or plenty, and to Him shall be your return.
Mohsin Khan: Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return.
It was exhausting: wrestling to be whole, never shaking the bone-deep loneliness. The fog formed a dense wall, hedging me into isolation. Most days, it seemed nobody, not even God, can break through.
I was running ministry errands that day, grateful for a reprieve from interaction in the offices. My heart raced with a sinking question: What if I never get better? Shame seared my flushed skin. Nobody wants this. How do I live like this forever?

So nice that God came through for you. It doesnt happen for everyone and it didnt happen for me. God just vanished as depression got a grip on me through years of sexual abuse. And then my rotten church (you know, the one based in Rome with all the art treasures) made it worse by claiming I am in some sort of mortal sin for giving in. Jesus H fucking Christ, this religion shit really rots your soul, doesnt it? Anyway, I am at a crossroads now, and it could go either way. I have wept alone many times. No still small voice for me. Absolutely nothing. But I guess thats my fault too.
Sorry ginger trust me he is not on your time what have you learn from this change people places and thnimng that is holding you back be not transform by this world it only temporary god and Jesus is entered love peaches and joy be anxiety for temporary fits wait wait ask for patience wait
Today I was bullied and I am only 10. I know that god holds me but sometimes anger comes. And I cant hold it in. It is like the devil consumes me. So we went to the gym and this is where it started and some girls I know were mocking me and acting like me and calling me mean things like i was Joe Biden. I know Im not the nicest person but sometimes I am kind and want to help people. I didnt know that one girl that was bullying me was conferred with depression. I didnt know that and so she took her anger out on me. And the other girl talked about me behind my back. She got everyone else a ring and not me.
