Ponder this..
Salaam all,
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When Allah takes something from your grasp, He is not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. The will of Allah will never take you where the Grace of Allah will not protect you.'

Re: Ponder this..
Firefly reminds me of some reading we've been doing in class.
" The Master doesn't try to be powerful;
thus he is truly powerful.
the ordinary man keeps reaching for power;
thus he never has enough.
The Master does nothing,
yet he leaves nothing undone.
The ordinary man is always doing things,
yet many more are left to be done." - Lao-tzu

So when a child loses both parents to a horrific disease --- the child should then open both hands to receive something even better, much better than having both his parents dead.
Nice logic

Re: Ponder this..

'Indeed the whole world is Imagination. Only
He [Allah] is the real in Reality. Whomever
understands this knows the secrets of the
spiritual path'

But what about the last sentence? Allah's protection? And we also know that the Prophet (saw) himself was an orphan. Who looked after him? None other than Allah SWT.
Perfect_ Order:- Thanks for sharing. I liked that.
DANGIRL:- No sis.

Re: Ponder this..
Brave reflections Firefly....
Let me share these words too inshAllah....
"...And because those who claim to love Him are many, they are required to prove it, for if the people were given Paradise solely on the basis of their claims, every unqualified person would claim to be entitled to it..."
Peace

Most of our suspicion of others is based on a knowledge of our own weaknesses; examine your attitudes towards others to know yourself.
Everyone else feel free to post any quotes you like and want to share..

When I was a kid (and actually till today) I used to think that when something bad happend to me..that it was a punishment for something I have done...and when something good happend to me, it was never anything that I myself did ( I couldnt take any form of credit)...but something allah had ordained for me. Looking back now...its true what you said; when SOME bad things happen...theres a silver linning behind it.
