O Allah! Why ME???

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Whenever he faces and accident and get injured, the word uttered from his mouth is, "why Allah did this to me from the 6.9 billion?"

Whenever a relative of him passes away, leaving the family in grief, he says, "Ali's father is so old, but why Allah taken my 40 year old father before him?"

Whenever Allah makes him face a trial, he says, "why so hard for me?"

But....

He NEVER bothers to ask why Allah has blessed him with such a pious spouse and a good home.

He NEVER bothers to ask why Allah has made him able to see, hear and talk while there are many without them.

He NEVER bothers to ask why Allah has selected him to be able to get education up to a level where he can manage his life.

I ask....

Before pointing fingers on others...

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

 
Its not so beautiful and happy to see what we often see these days. Everybody (including myself) are busy. Yes too busy. In what? In Judging people, in backbiting, in calling others by names, in making takfeer, in hearing haram, in seeing haram and in walking towards haram.

A blessed month is meeting us soon. Are we prepared to welome this blessed guest of us who visit once in a year? Is the place (heart) cleaned before it arrives? What have we done to prepare?

O my dear respected brothers and sisters in Islam! You are the hope of the Ummah. Yes you, the one who is reading this. Let us ask these questions for ourselves inorder to make it easy to see a real picture of our individual situation.

1) How much information do I know about the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), the best man who ever pleaced foot on earth's surface, and His companions? And how much information do I know about the famous polititians, celebrities, football & cricket players,film stars and singers?

Just sit back and imagine!!

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh my respected brothers and sisters in Islam


Allah says, in Surah Fajr:

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ 

Translation: And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.” But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.” [Surah Fajr, verses 15-16]

You’ll notice here, Allah is commenting on the mentality of the human race. When Allah gives … the human being says: “My Lord has honoured me.”

Because it’s all about wealth … money … dunya. This is the metric we use. You see the president of a country? You’re very respectful. If the same president was a homeless bum asking you for change? You wouldn’t even look at him. We equate money with respect and honour … as Allah points out.
