Reflection
In learning the attributes of Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ we come to understand whatever Allah does, He does good. We may see the challenges we're currently facing as difficult. Still, there is a reward for going through the pain and struggle and remembering Allah through it all. The bigger the hill, the better the reward.
And each hill trekked and conquered brings one step closer to Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ. If we recognize this, whatever obstacle is placed on that path, we will find a way to overcome it. This is similar to how a farmer must be patient to get his crop. He has to labor away many hours working under the hot, dry sun.
He has to care for and nurture his garden to eventually reap the reward of his crops. No one said attaining the goal would be easy. But if we change our definition of what easy means to something you can do, then it's easy, "Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. org/surah-baqarah/ayat-286/)).
We trust Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ knows what's best for us as we keep relentlessly marching forward. We turn to Allah, asking for His approval and seeking His guidance, "If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? ' [2] Be persistent and do not lose hope.
One of the beneficial remedies is persisting in your du'a. " The believer further benefits from knowing Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ is Al-Mujeeb. Just as Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ is responsive to us, we should be responsive to Him. , of kinship, salah, spreading peace, helping the community, and keeping the sawm (fast).
