Assalamualaikum everyone :)

Today is 31st of December 2016.
I'll be turning to a new age tomorrow, in sha Allah.
An increase in age attached itself to a parallel increase in responsibilities :)
Anyhow, I am thankful for the passing years.
Hoped to be a better person, not by the passing years, but by the passing days.
As a reflection to us, I wanna share two verses from Qur'an;
 |
| Perhaps you hate a thing but it is good for you, and perhaps you loved a thing but it is bad for you. Allah knows, whilst you know not (Al Baqarah; verse 216) |
 |
| They plan and Allah plans, and Allah is the best of planners (Al Anfal; verse 30) |
Another year passed, and I believe we all have our plans, aims and goals that we strived to achieve along the year.
However, when things didnt go as we plan, we must remind ourselves that sometimes things are not fully in our control. We should learn the beauty of acceptance. But, that doesnt mean that we give up.
Nope.
It's just a way to coax ourselves and to believe that Allah knows what He is doing.
And if we knew what the future would be like, we may choose the same situation we are in now :)
In short, always instill these two elements in our daily life: Sabr and Shukr; and believe me your life will be so tranquil even when the storm hits.
May Allah bless us in the coming years.
May Allah guide us to the right path.
May Allah help us in becoming better Muslims.
May Allah bless us with infinite sustenance.
May Allah grant us the best spouses.
May Allah re-unite us in Paradise.
Say Ameen :)
