SECOND REMINDER. Saturday. THE HIDDEN BLESSINGS OF ILLNESSES, SICKNESSES and HARDSHIPS continues. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Please read the first Reminder first before this one. If you missed it, please request a copy The fact is that, Sickness can be very disturbing, but if viewed in the light of the teachings and the practical example of our Nabi(Sallallaahu alaiyhi wassallam), then it will become easier to cope with even the agony of pain. Furthermore, if these teachings are practised, our illnesses will become a means for us to earn great rewards in the Aakhirah. Sickness and other difficulties that we undergo in this worldly life should not only be seen as a misfortune or as an expression of the displeasure of Allah Ta'ala. For those servants of Allah who enjoy a very special relationship with Him, it is a means of great blessing and a mercy. Is there anyone in this world who is free from sins and mistakes? If every soul were to be fully recompensed for its every action, then apart from the sinless Prophets of Allah, the Ambiyaa (Alaihimus salaam), nobody else would be worthy of entering into Jannah. We humans commits minor and major sins all the time, but the difficulties and hardships that we undergoes in this world like illness, grief and sorrow, etc. become the atonement for our sins and in this way we are cleansed of our sins in this very world, that's the teachings of Islam not like the false doctrine of someone pious dying for our sins. To be continued in shaa ALLAH May Allah have mercy on us all and protect us from any burden beyond our capacity to handle. Aameen.
