Salam alaykum, beautiful message mashallah! This is exactly what sh. Muhammad Alshareef mentioned in his Niche Hero class (next one is in the UK in Feb 2012 inshallah) when he was counselling us about success. As long as our deen is good, the projects we engage in for the sake of Allah (business, dawah, or raising a family etc) will be easy and success will be automatic, but the moment something becomes tough, even something in the category of a bad day, it means we have neglected something in our deen. Allah breaks us to realise our arrogance or over looking something. We can be drawn into dispair about it and fall further or we can return to arRahma and look for what is missing, make tauba and take steps to repair. Now with this article I have completed my understanding about why we dispair! So I will now think: repair is better than dispair!

A very beautiful and inspiring article – Mash’Allah! I have been going through a lot of these dark gloomy moments. I’ve learned to embrace them because despite all the pain they give me the amazing opportunity for introspection, reassessment and growth. I pray for us all to be able to weave our way back to Allah A’zawajeul ever so strongly and with ever more awe at His infinite love and mercies. Jazakillah khayr.

This article is absolutely beautiful, masha’Allah. Thank you for the effort of writing this sister Rehab, as it brings so much hope to the hearts. Jazaki Allahu Khairan.

For the sake of quotation, can you sight the source for the statement of Dawud, alahis salam. It’s so amazing, I’ve never heard it before, masha’Allah.

Thank you, Reehab. I like to feel recognized by you, since you seem to know the break. I have been saved by God several times, yet I let it slide by being amongst nonbelievers. Now I’m married to a wonderful man who practices his belief, and I feel as a flower, opening and finally finding food in the ground I grow from. May God bless you more for sharing this.

Like many others I feel like this described a significant part of me, and it is exactly why I don’t regret any darkness since it brought me closer to Allah (swt).

May we all be guided and hold onto the firmest handhold, and never let go. It is only Allah that truly gives us strength. Alhamdulillah. Jazakallah for a poignant and reflective article. May Allah preserve you.

Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu

Truth inspires hope. This is Truth.

Oh Allah, protect us from Falsehood.
