What If The Bigger Harm That Was To Befall You Unexpectedly Was Delayed By Another Smaller Pain And Suffering.

What if the bigger harm that was to befall you unexpectedly was delayed by another smaller pain and suffering.

Just know sometimes in life you could have been saved from something a lot bigger when you seem like your getting tested. Sometimes you can see it and sometimes you’re unaware of the hidden blessings for you during your misfortune. If only you were to realise what our eyes miss to see sometimes.

Whether you are stuck somewhere and things don’t go as planned, know maybe there was betterment for you behind it.

When your not always rushing, maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe it gives you time to see what lies ahead on that path that you wanted to take, was it good or would it have been a bad decision for you? Sometimes we might realise and sometimes we may not. Don’t take everything for granted every time.

By seconds you can miss harm and by seconds you can do yourself good. Just have faith in God and whatever befalls you, have patience. Think could it be worse, is there good or is there something else waiting for me around the corner in the next minute.

If your time is written, it is written, no matter how you try to avoid it and if not, then the Most Merciful always has a better plan than the plan you are trying to carry out.

Life is delicate, one day your here and one day your gone. People die strangely everyday so if you are here today, know that it is from the Mercy of the Creator. He is The Guardian, The Only Protector, The Preserver of safety.

Make it a habit to seek forgiveness, glorify and thank Him a few minutes when waking up and just before going to sleep. Let Him be the first and last thing in your mind and heart.

"Never underestimate the small gestures, the choice between micro-agression and micro-compassion. The difference is between making someone feel like a real human being, or crushing their soul. The human heart is so fragile. This is why the Prophet ﷺ was so adamant to teach us the etiquette of emotion, the core of character: Don't whisper between two if you are joined by a third. Smile, its a charity. Turn your full torso when someone speaks to you. Don't take someone's seat when they get up temporarily. Regard anything personal someone tells you as a secret to hold close even if you aren't told to do so. Make peace between people. Don't hold a grudge more than three days. And so so so much more. The big things aren't what break hearts. The big things aren't what destroy friendships. Its the little things."

Strive for the best version of yourself, push yourself and comfort yourself whenever necessary,but don't give up on yourself, that's never an option. Always be there for yourself the external validation or support system is appreciable but don't depend on it, the passion, discipline has to come from within oneself not others, it's your journey make sure you are on the driver's seat of your life not others.

No one else cares for your success (as much as their own) so you have to care. You have to force yourself to get up early, you have to force yourself to turn your phone off and revise, you have to force yourself to workout, you have to care for the whole world because no one else cares until they start seeing results. And they won’t ever see your results if you don’t care enough first. It’s your life, they are your goals, your dreams, it will be your success but it has to be your effort and your work first and foremost x

Dear brother and sisters, a time is going to come when you will see things that will cause your faith to shake. People shall experience inner earthquakes, great calamities and tribulations. A time filled with hardship, fear and struggle. No matter how difficult things become and what people say and do - never let people take your smile away from you. Never let anyone snatch away your belief, your morals, your hope and your religion from you. If you trip and fall, get straight back up and continue. Don't drop your head and feel ashamed or scared. Raise yourself and be proud of who you are. When mankind is flooded with hate and discrimination - don't drown. Carry on swimming. Don't look back and don't despair. You can do it. You can survive. Safety is with the ship of the Ahl al-Bayt. Guidance is with the Companions who are like stars in the dark night. The place of safety is with the Sunnah of Rasūlallāh ﷺ.

Allāh is your Lord and the Lord of everything in this universe. He took charge of your sustenance, your health, your lifespan, every breath that you inhale, every drop you shall drink, and every morsel you will consume before you ever came into this world. How then can the believer ever be in loss regardless of any situation he goes through? Who can oppose the one who Allāh protects? Who can debase the one Allāh raises? Who can extinguish a light which Allāh illuminates? The rulers and policies of the people of the earth change but Allāh's dominance, power and promises for you will forever remain. He looked after you yesterday. And He will continue to look after you forever to come.

Fate نصيب is so often misunderstood and abused as a concept.
We use fate as a salve for our wounded hearts, or a scapegoat for our poor choices/behaviors.
But a sound differentiation would be this; 
If you find yourself in a situation where you can make no sense of painful events and can’t mend your heart, accept life as it is and find solace in knowing it was fate decreed by The Most Compassionate.
However, never justify your poor choices/behavior and disregard of others by blaming it on fate.
God gave you the freedom of choice; when you go back on your words, when you’re inconsiderate and hurtful to others, that is your choice, it becomes fate because you made it so, not the other way around.

It adds too much insult to injury when you tell someone you hurt “It is fate, that’s how God wanted things to go”. 
That type of rhetoric causes a lot of pain for those who receive it as it would make them feel that God wanted this for them, that they deserve to be hurt, when in fact they’re hurt because you messed up and are trying to make yourself feel better by blaming it on fate. 
We accept life’s pain as fate when it is matters out of our control, but when it is our worldly affairs between each other, then life is the way it is because of our own doings.

Mind what you say to others, say only what you mean, for words are the interpretation of our hearts and souls and we are accountable for what we say. Words can start wars or broker peace, they can soften hardened hearts, or harden soft ones. They can light up the world, or darken the soul. Words have meaning, words matter.
Own your poor choices, learn from them, apologize and grow; don’t let the pain you caused others go in vain and never allow yourself to blame fate for your mistakes.
