Where Hearts Find Rest

It is not wrong to express your sadness. It is normal to have this feeling. Every people will feel this. When you feel very hard to share with people, there is Allah the ultimate listener. It is not a fault when you feel sad. Its about to admit that you need Allah's love and His guide, that we are very weak servant, no willpower and have no reason to feel we are good enough.

Allah's kindness is very near to us. He hears all and answers our supplications. Its is we who are full of shortcomings, and we so badly need to be persistent in our supplications. Boredom and hopelessness should never cause us to stop invoking Allah; nor should of us say: I prayed yet i have not been answered. Instead we should press our heads humbly on the ground and beg for help from Allah.

“And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient ones.” (Quran 2:155)

“Therefore, remember Me (God) and I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.” (Quran 2:152)

“If God helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in God (Alone) let believers put their trust.” (Quran 3:160)

Patience, gratitude and trust in Allah. This is the nature of life, and this is the human condition =)
