Let the days do as they please,
And be optimistic when destiny decrees.
Do not despair due to the events of nights past,
For events of this world were not meant to last.
-Imam Shafi’i
Whatever happens, whether it is for the better or for worse, I know it is a part of my destiny- A Divine plan made by the Best of Writers. A plan meticulously laid out and followed through, by the One who has my best interests at heart. A plan that will only bring about good and save me from evil unknown to me. A plan that I may not understand right away due to my limited perception. A plan laid out by the Most Wise, the Most Loving- whose love is far greater than the love of seventy mothers. And one day, when I look back at my life, I will see how every single piece of the puzzle fit in so perfectly. How every time I thought I was being deprived of something good, I was only being redirected to something better. How everything I never dreamed of losing was only replaced by things I never imagined of owning. When Allah is my Rabb, my Protector, my Helper, my Planner, my Creator, my Healer, how can I despair? When all my affairs are in His hands, how can I not sleep soundly? When He has promised to make a way out for the ones who fear Him, how can I not believe in the promise of the One who never breaks His promise? Trust that if He bars against you all passages and ways, He will show you a path which no man knows of. And that path, would undoubtedly be far better than the one you broke your own heart over.
And with the following words of my prophet, let your heart be reassured:
Know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.
Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in times of adversity. And know that what has missed you [and you have failed to attain] was not going to befall you, and what has befallen you was not going to miss you. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and hardship with ease.
//Leave it to God. It’s Written. Be patient.
