Jazakum Allah khairan katheeran mahashim for sharing this article.
Actually 57:22 is my slogan since I was 20 years old, I feel it sums up the whole situation. Sobhan Allah. For example why would I be thrilled and happy over a sudden promotion to manage the sector I am working with when I am not sure if I will be able to deal with much responsibility, to fulfill the obligation in a manner that satisfies Allah, to be fair to the staff, ..... etc. While why would I be sorry for divorcing my husband when I am not sure if we continued being married what the situation would turn to. Allah Knows best. All I have to do in this world is not to exhaust my mind in thinking what to do on this or that, how to get this or that. But rather my mind should work on how to be as pious as possible, piety is a comprehensive matter containing dealing with various situations, among others, what to do when people mistreat u, attack u, or take advantage of u. U may asnwer back the same way or remember the Ayah saying:
<b>"Those who spend [in Allah's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinoon (the good doers)." (Quran 3:134).
</b>
When Allah Clearly Say:
"And <b>whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him</b>, <b>He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).* And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine
</b>" (Quran 65 : 2-3)
Sobhan Allah, this could be in a nutshell what is actually needed from us in this short trip
