Collection Of Moments...

Just like a book that is a collection of words and chapters, each chapter having it's twists and turns. In each chapter is a story, but then the story builds up as the chapters advance, becoming clearer and more beautiful, each chapter having  its lessons to take from. As much as we would love to know how the story ends, we know that flipping to the last page would only ruin the whole story. 

So also are our lives a collection of moments. Sometimes we might not understand the significance of every moment, and we wonder why it is the way it is. But then as we grow older and move further, everything becomes clearer, and we see clearly the beauty of Allah's plans. In as much as we would want to know how our lives end, we have to work and strive towards it, towards the beautiful ending, towards Jannah (paradise). We have to be patient enough to finish the book. All through this journey though, we have to place our trust in Allah, knowing certainly that Allah is the best "author" of this "book" called our lives. He is the all wise and The Most Generous. Only that which is best for us would He let happen for us. 

Once we realize that our lives are under the control of The Most Generous and The Most Merciful, it becomes easier for us to accept anything that comes our way, knowing that a more beautiful chapter is yet to unfold.
