DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm As-sabt, 22nd day of Swafar 1447AH, Saturday, 16th August 2025.

BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues. BismilLah. 

Yesterday, we reminded ourselves that anything good to us is from ALLAH Azzawajal not by chance or only by our efforts. Goodness can also be a trial in our life to test those who will use it to earn their Hereafter or waste it in dunya and gain nothing in the hereafter. 

Calamities in our lives can also be blessings in disguise. 

Yes, there is great wisdom behind calamities, including the following: 

1. To attain true submission and servitude (‘uboodiyyah) to ALLAH, the Lord of the Worlds. 

Many people are slaves to their whims and desires and are not true slaves of ALLAH Azzawajal. They say that they are slaves of ALLAH, but when they are tested they turn on their heels and lose out in this world and, in the Hereafter, and that is an evident loss. ALLAH Azzawajal says: 

“And among mankind is he who worships ALLAH as it were upon the edge (i.e. in doubt): if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss” [al-Hajj 22:11]. 

From this verse, we have learnt that whatever bad befalls us, we must return to ALLAH Azzawajal with devotion and worship with conviction that it's a trial from my lord. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
