as salam alykom
Ok I saw rather than starting a new thread, and instead of u two continue smiling like this.
The whole issue is so simple and brief, Allah in Quran Say:"And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much" (Quran 42:30)
The words are so clear, it is all due to our deeds, Allah is Just. In a saying also I am not sure it is a hadeeth what means just as u r, similar rulers are assigned over u. Therefore, as simple as this, I need to imporve, she needs to improve, he needs to improve. We need to re order our priorities, teach our children what is Islam. Not only in the sense of prayer and fasting, no more global. We need to raise pious wives who are aware of their real role, pious men who are ready to assume responsibilities. We need to teach our men that not by staying late at work and leaving family behind that they attain credit. But rather by obeserving Allah's rules and priorities in every manner, that Allah is more than Capable to bring sustaince and stability.
Look at this Ayah amazing:
"<b>And if only they had acted according to the Tauraat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur'an)</b>, they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet. There are from among them people who are on the right course (i.e. they act on the revelation and believe in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم like 'Abdullaah bin Salaam رضي الله عنه), but many of them do evil deeds.
" (Quran 5:66).
Here Allah is talking about people of the book, and look just for the condition and the response of the condition. Imagine Allah Would have sent them food from above and under their feet. U think if we Muslims would have acted as Muslim, Allah Would still keep those ruler over us. Never. We really need to work a lot. The remedy is there always there but we tend to incline to THE OTHER key chain... Some one else must take the blame not us....
We are short in many wayssssssss
I can simply fill pages of what we are suffering and how we are short.
But I am sure u got the picture now.
may Allah allow us all to improve.
