Gods Way Of Helping Us There are many times, where, we face different challenges, in our teenage lives, which leave us emotionally stricken, but, at the same time, also help us, mentally, and physically, they help us, and train us for our future challenges, they teach us what the real world is, how cruel and evil people actually are. Lessons in life are extremely helpful, on the long run, and teach us what no book, or school discussion can. These are lessons from our creator; lessons which we will cherish when we grow up, these are in fact, god’s way of helping us, and gifting us. A few days ago, I read an article, about a brother, he was being sent overseas, to represent his company, and perform a few business transactions, on the day of his flight, he overslept! When he woke up, he was extremely disappointed, and cursed himself, and his bad luck, but, nothing could be done. He decided to turn on his TV, before racing to the airport, and inquiring about any flights available. He found out that the plane he was supposed to board had crashed! Wasn’t this a blessing in disguise? Allah, our creator, loves us, and has his own ways of helping us, of which some, we do not even recognize! When you fall down, have you ever thought, “I’m lucky I only got away with a scratch, had my creator wished, I could even have broken a bone!” My dear brothers and sisters, think! Allah, our creator, will not afflict us with problems without a reason, we might be afflicted because he wants to test us, because he wants to help us, because he wants to train us! After the storm comes the calm, so, instead of considering problems as bad luck, etc, let us view them as God’s Way Of Helping Us! -Ammar Loya
