Who could comfort me more than Ar Rahmaan?
Everytime I had a calamity fall upon me, I didn’t realise that I was committing minor shirk. I confided in others when the first action that I should have done was turn to Allaah. He’s the only one that will help me and only one that could take me out of any calamity.
I went to Allaahs creation for help or to vent rather than turning to the creator, Al-Khaaliq.
Even for me going to someone and THEN asking Allaah to help later? What was I thinking? Who could be more important than Allaah? Who can comfort me and make me feel at ease other than Ar-Rahman.
Listening to this talk showed me how much knowledge I lack and how much I need to really make du’a and turn to Allaah to aid,forgive and cleanse my heart on a regular basis.
It made me feel disturbed to come to terms that I haven’t truly turned to Allaah, that I also haven’t tried my uttermost hardest to please Allaah.
Especially when I had calamities fallen upon me.
I was ungrateful and subconsciously pitied myself? Why? When I’m the one that had transgressed and didn’t turn to Al-Wadood, Al-A’leem the way I should’ve.
I used to hear about the importance of Du’a but I didn’t used to do it as often.
I saw myself moaning and complaining and only making du’a in salah. It became habitual and felt like I didn’t actually put any effort or heart into it.
The morning and evening du’a which I have now tried to add in my day to day life along with dhikr has made a huge difference to me.
I need to try my best to do more Ibaadah in the day or pray more sunnah salahs. In shaa Allaah
I teach my children that Allaah is Al-Baseer,As- Samee’ but in reality I need to understand the attributes of these names myself and be aware that Allaah does see me and does hear me so why not seek help from The Most High when I’m struck with a hardship. Why not call upon Allaahs beautiful names and say the du’as that are shown to us.
How can I say that I really have tawakul? How could I say to people who have been upset (about a tribulation) to “turn to Allaah and open your heart to Him the way that pleases Al-A’la, The Most High” when I dont do this immediately when calamities have fallen upon me?
Shaytaan will bring me down if I really don’t put my full tawakul in Allaah.
I feel as if I’ve had a vast amount of tests, many that I know that I have failed in, it saddened me in a way to realise that I didn’t take that mercy from Allaah, this formed a dark cloud over me but as soon as this feeling made me aware that it could possibly be another test , I turned to Allaah without hesitation as he is Al-Ghafoor, Al-A’lee And SubhaanAllaah that instant I felt at ease and happy and great things happened.
We don’t see why Allaah Al-Majeed gives us these tests but once the hardship is over, ease will come, that’s if you whole heartedly turned to Allaah and didn’t resort to minor shirk.
Seeing other sisters tadabbur made me realise how ungrateful I can be too. How I expect too much without realising from my husband and children.
I know that expectation is wrong I somehow do it unknowingly cause it’s stuck with me throughout the years. Only making du’a will help me let go of this in shaa Allaah.
Our trials and tribulations are bounties from Al-Akram so I have to act upon being patient and know that Allaah will love me if I am obedient to Him.
I need to remind myself constantly that good things will come if I have full tawakul in Allaah in all situations.
Seeking knowledge for me has always made me realise what I’m doing incorrect and also how I can correct it.
Which shows me how important it is to seek knowledge!
