Salam
Insha'Allah I'll be ok. Jezekelah khayran for your words Muslimah. My Imaan is not so strong anymore. Too many hardships to face, so easy to slip.
<b>Sura Al- Anbiyya_h, v. 83 and 84:
</b>
<i>"And (remember) Ayyub when he cried to his Lord "Truly</i>
distress has seized me but You are the Most Merciful
of those that are merciful."
So We listened to him: We removed the distress that
was on him and We restored his people to him and
doubled their number as a Grace from Ourselves and a
thing for commemoration for all who serve Us"
This inspiring story of Prophet Ayyub is a wonderful example to me. I was reading it today, Insha'Allah u didn't mind me sharing it with you. It has helped me ease some of my worries and fears when I encounter sudden hardship. I should not feel sorry for myself because self-pity leads me nowhere. I should place my complete trust in Allah subhanallahu ta'ala, and have the certainty in heart and mind, that at the end of my pain and suffering, there will come ease insha'Allah.
Please keep me in your dua's.
Jezekelah Khayran to my lil Sis Jameela for posting this great reminder.
Insha'Allah can someone, Muslimah or anybody. Tell us how we can be strong spiritually, because salat is not some ritual or performing some excersise going up and down. What if you have the Niyah, the will, the wudu. And Salat is still a struggle especially spiritually. I'm not asking this for myself, but speaking generally.
Thanks
