So often we think that Allah only tests us with hardships, but this isn't true. Allah also tests with ease. He tests us with na`im (blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests that so many of us fail. We fail because when Allah gives us these blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols in the heart.
Yasmin MogahedTo some,Islam is nothing but a code of rules and regulations.But,to those who understand,it is a perfect vision of life
Yasmin MogahedWhen we canโt marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us. When we donโt get hired, or we lose something dear to us, itโs hard to take a step back and notice the bigger picture. Often Allah takes things away from us, only to replace them with something greater.
