“The stronger wind…the tougher trees…” September 13, 2009 at 12:48 pm
“The tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light,
That stood out in the open plain
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king,
But lived and died a scrubby thing…
Good timber does not grow in ease.
The stronger wind, the tougher trees…”
–Douglas Mallock
Hardship is a means of salvation on the Day of Judgement, InshAllah. It may not seem like it at first, but tribulations makes you stronger.
Another thing I learned: this world is really not worth it.
Just aim to get into Jannah (Paradise)…once you are there…that’s where the party begins. Think of this world as the 9-5 job shift, and death the release from the job at 5 PM. The barzakh is the time it takes for you to get home…and finally your home is your eternal destination (hopefully in Paradise).
SubhanAllah.
InshAllah we will all one day be able to say, “Ah! There is nothing like home! Home sweet home!”
finally had time to visit your blog…looking good
your blog is really something special mashaAllah. I love your different pages.
may Allah ta’ala increase you and your family. <3.
