--* In a World full of Problems, Solutions Still Exist

Assalam o alaikum
Hope you all are in good health.  :)

Want more in life?
Want to find the answers to all your questions?


It seems like we live in a pretty messed up world. Life isn’t always fair. People aren’t always treated right. We wish the world was better. We want change. But alone, we can do nothing. And, we like finding excuses. We all do. And yes, some things may not be your fault entirely, or even at all. Yet there’s always something we can do. Let’s all try to change the world for the better, one step at a time. Let’s all work for improvement starting with ourselves. And when we’ve got something, some light in our hearts that gives us peace and direction, some knowledge that is guiding us to a slightly less ignorant place, a brighter rung on the ladder of life, it’s only natural to radiate this light. Let your character shine!

We, Muslims, just like all human beings, have many problems in our daily lives. Still, our main concern should always be the Hereafter. Because, when your breath stops unexpectedly, you’d wish you had less plans for tomorrow and more for the eternal life in the Hereafter.And, miraculously, focusing on that automatically fixes most of our other concerns.We even have powers beyond our actions; beyond our limited control on life. Making dua to Allah and trusting Him- truly trusting Him to help us- relieves is of so many worries. The things we can’t control, Allah is here to take care of that for us. Following Allah’s commands; that takes care of our other problems- the parts of life we can control.

If you don’t follow Allah’s limits, you’ll never know where to draw the line. It’s not up to us. As Muslims, we are supposed to submit to the will of our Creator. Allah already gave us the guidelines that save us from so many unnecessary problems. Allah already sent down the Quran, Al-Furqan, that is, the Criterion between the right and the wrong. The distinction is clear; it’s just our inharmonious ways that create complications. Allah has sent down His divine guidelines to save us from various evils and the mountains of problems that come with them. He knows us better than we know ourselves, and he is the Creator of human nature. He created us, and sent down the instructions that protect us: from heartbreak; from running after petty things; from feeling used, meaningless or valueless; from being degraded; from falling prey to the devil; from having our heart corrupted; from having an empty life or chasing things with the wrong vision. God gave us the answers we are searching for. Like the purpose of life. He gave us life, and He, Alone gives our lives true meaning! 

Allah guides those who sincerely want to be guided. Once our hearts are lit with true purpose, we realize that even if the world isn’t perfect, we can try our best to spread a bit of goodness, lend a helping hand, as much as we can. We realize that true pleasure comes from deeds that are done to please Allah Almighty and that the fruits of true goodness are to be found in the life after death. Once we adhere to the right path, we realize that even if our lives aren’t perfect, we can wait a little while, for “perfect,” in heaven, InshaAllah!

Jazak Allah!
Do not forget to remember all our Muslim brothers and sisters who are suffering  anywhere in the world in your prayers.
