Don't Lose Heart When Things Go Badly​



The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island ....

He prayed feverishly for Allaah to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.


"Do people think
that they will be left alone
because they say: "We believe,"
and will not be tested "
[Al-'Ankaboot 29:2] ​


Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger.

"Allaah, how could you do this to me!" he cried.
[Comment; Plenty of people use such statement --- think again you should never question Allaah nor object to his willing]

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.

"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart.

Verily, with the hardship,
there is relief
(i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
[ Al-Inshirah 94:6]



"Salaamun Alaykum (peace be upon you)
for that you persevered in patience!
Excellent indeed is the final home!"
[ Ar-Rad 13:24]



"...Do not regard it an evil to you;
nay, it is good for you...."
[An- Nuur 24:11]



"...So put your trust (in Allaah)
if ye are indeed believers."
[Al-Maida 5:23]



"O ye who believe!
Seek help in steadfastness
and prayer.
Lo! Allaah is with the steadfast."
[Al-Baqarah 2:153]​

Al'hamduwlillaah you are thinking positively!

Remember that Allaah did not created us in jest for HE says:


"Verily We have created man
into toil and struggle."
[ Al-Balad 90:4]​

Do not feel distress should you have some difficulty or something not in your favour for HE says:


"...Do not regard it an evil to you;
nay, it is good for you...."
[An- Nuur 24:11]​


Know that when you have problems or in difficulty, then it is by Allaah's permission for HE says:


"Say: "Nothing shall ever happen to us
except what Allaah has ordained for us.
He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector)."
And in Allaah
let the believers put their trust."
[At-Taubah 9:51]​

"No kind of calamity can occur,
except by the leave of Allaah
And if any one believes in Allaah,
{Allaah} guides his heart (aright):
for Allaah knows all things."
[At-Taghabun 64:11] ​



"...There did Allaah give you one distress after another
by way of requital
to teach you not to grieve
for that which had escaped you,
nor for that which had befallen you.
And Allaah is Well Aware of all that you do."
[Al-Imran 3:153] ​


"And certainly,
We shall test you with something
of fear, hunger,
loss of wealth, lives and fruits,
but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).
Who, when afflicted with calamity,
say: "Truly! To Allaah we belong
and truly, to Him we shall return."
[ Al-Baqara 2: 155~156]​

"And He will provide him
from (sources)
He never could imagine.
And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah,
then HE will suffice him.
Verily, Allaah will accomplish his purpose.
Indeed Allaah has set a measure for all things."

very good post. I've been going through hard times, so this is a good reminder. But still, difficult times are definitely not fun! :) It's taking all my patience right now not to break down and to keep faith
