Why me!!!



Troubles!! Difficulties!! Loss!! 

Why do they exist??

Why me every time?? Why am I into difficulties all the time? Why does Allah put me in so many problems?

We often ask this question from ourselves and see people around us in search of answers for such questions. One thing which we should keep in mind is that nothing is purposeless. Good or bad, difficult or easy, pleasing or painful. 

Now, difficulties, troubles and loss that we go through can be a blessing for us or they can be a cause of our destruction. That depends on our attitude towards it. When we are on a wrong path and we make mistakes, Allah(s.w.t) puts us in some trouble. When we don't learn from one and go on committing mistakes then Allah puts us in hardships over and over again. Hardships and difficulties are must because when we get into some trouble only then we are more likely to assess ourselves. When a person gets a thorn pricked into his foot he will try to find out that where did he get it from? Was that a path he was walking on thorny or it's that he was carelessly walking. Similarly, when a man falls down, he will at least once look back to see that what made him fall down?? 

“Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that ((Allah)) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).” (41:30)

 If we will not have hardships, we will not try to find out the problem or mistake that we must be committing and we will complain to Allah(s.w.t) on the day of judgment that He didn't warn us. Allah knows how good man is in giving excuses and reasons. I wonder how well Shakespeare has described man, the quintessence of dust:

             What a piece of work is a man ! 
How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties!
in form and moving, how express and admirable !
In action, how like and angel! 
In apprehension how like a god ! 
the beauty of the world ! the paragon of animal !

So, difficulties are actually the wake up calls for those who do wrong. They are a favor from Allah(s.w.t). We should be patient in such times. They are temporary. Hard times are a test actually. They make us stronger. We should pray to Allah to keep us from trails and hardships of the hereafter because they are ever existing and painful, beyond our imagination!!

~ Contemplation Over the Night Sky

Image
Like the moon borrows its light from the sun To shine bright at night in front of everyone And at times in the sky it hides, Away from everything, affecting the tides. And it is dark... But the stars in the night sky, Small and distant. Always around, aligned, pleasant. They shine on their own, Mountain to a stone. Little spark. I gaze at the night canopy, Wondering who i can be... The sun? The moon? I'd rather be the star, small and distant. But lights on its own. - via Karina Jamandri I came across this poem and loved it. Poet's analogy of a star with respect to life appeals me to a great extent. However, I am tempted to share that I have liked moon and why I have, for this I am going to share what I had written about it once, staring at it one serene night:   "Moon has scars  But its light outshines them.  Stars have light and the fanciness in the way they shine Their cuts, their fragility..  But moon outshines them.

~ Thoughts on Heart and Mind

Image
Only the impoverished hearts are enshrouded in Pride And backbones, as if of steel. Stiff: They fear break and bent. So walk away. You will find peace. A mind that thinks cannot be caged. Freedom to choose on what to think and believe is its oxygen. It will rather be destroyed than be imprisoned.

An Ode to the Past Years

Image
I picked up my pen to write about life. Rummaging through the memories I had, of the experiences in the recent years, I couldn't decide what to write about and what to leave. To those who were kind, forgiving and there through thick and thin, I can't thank enough. God reaches us through them. Then He calls some of them back, like to my friend Nabeela. Of those who abandoned, stabbed, judged or harmed in anyway, I speak no ill and wish a fast recovery. When my fluctuating self couldn't decide, I put my pen down and gave up the idea. Here's to the years of unfaltering, perpetual and incessant journey.  Here's to another year of learning and longing. 2017.
