Those moments...
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem
Some of us have those moments when we feel down, and we feel we have been struggling for too long and we don't know if we can carry on, we feel so sad and at times we have no explanations as to why we feel that way, and at times we know Allah has blessed us soo much even though we might not not notice it at that moment, but that still doesn't make how we feel any better. We might end up feeling ungrateful for all the blessings Allah has bestowed on us and we overlook which would only make us the more depressed. Moments like these we search for solutions, some might take the wrong route to looking for solutions but deep down we know that the answer to all our worries lies with Allah. So we try to look for reminders.
Just yesterday I voiced out my worries to someone so dear to me and here is what she wrote down for me:
"بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيم , Your Life tomorrow depends on your actions and decisions you make today, so better your future by improving on your current decisions. May Allah make it easy on us, ameen ❤. "
Subhanallah! This got me thinking at how genuinely true the statement was. Later that evening, I was talking to a friend and she told me this: "No one stops a person from being happy except themselves". How very true. May Allah reward them both for being continuous inspirations in my life. These two statements led me to a conclusion, one I thought I understood a long time ago. Sincerely, we spend so much time thinking and worrying about a problem instead of working out the solutions. As she said, if we think we are not pleased with our actions, instead of being sad about that, we should simply fix up. We should put efforts to being better and Allah would reward us abundantly for our efforts. If we think it's difficult, sincerely it isn't. It is just a decision we have to make. It is as easy as making a decision to be a better person. Just put the effort and see how Allah makes the path easy for you, be it repentance, to doing good, to success, name it.
Even when u feel down or u feel sad, remind yourself that being happy is just a decision. Your decision. No one can make you happy if you decide not to be. Don't hold on to your sadness, there is no reason to, sincerely. Decide to be happy, take the first step and smile, put your trust in Allah and you'll find happiness in ways u least expect.
And when you feel lonely, remember that a lonely person is one who doesn't have Allah, but Allah never left us in the first place, He has always been with us and He always will be with us so there is no need for us to be lonely ❤ . Whenever we feel lonely, we should moisten our tongues with the remembrance of Allah and embrace our hearts with our love for Him and most importantly the love He has for us, and we no longer would feel lonely :)
And when we feel we can't go on, we should remember to be patient, for Allah loves those who are patient, and when we feel we are loosing our patience, we should remember the famous saying of Ibn Qayyim Al-jawziyyah (Rahimahullah), "O you who are patient! Bear a little more, just a little remains". Soon it'll all be over :) Everything that has a beginning always has an ending.
