Clarity vs. Confusion

 

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Ever had those moments in life where nothing seems to make sense even though you try your very best to put two and two together?

Well, who am I kidding? Without a doubt, every single person who has walked the face of this Earth has felt it, lived through it and most importantly got the better of it and conquered it 😊

In moments like these what I usually do is overthink, which is exactly the opposite of what you should do! I'll tell you why... Overthinking leads to confusion which in turn makes you lose the calm demeanor you would otherwise have. A few random uncalculated turns and your destination turns out to be in the middle of nowhere. yes, you not only arrive at the wrong destination but you are convinced that it's the right one

We've all been there and experienced this, right? So the big question is, how do we come out of without causing too much havoc in our lives?

Simple! As Muslims, we believe that actions are according to intentions

Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him), reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The deeds are considered by the intentions, and a person will get the reward according to his intention. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration will be for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration would be for what he emigrated for"

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Moreover, we believe that nothing in this world is impossible for Allah because He is القادر, The All Capable and He mentions time and again 

 إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ قَدِیرࣱ

Certainly Allah has power over all things

So now do you believe me when I say that it's possible to find clarity in confusion? Couldn't crack the code? Need me to elaborate? Your patience in running thin? K k don't worry, I gotcha

So basically the only two thngs you've got to do is, correct intentions in addition to lots of supplications

That's it! Simple as pie

Thank me later guys. You owe me😜 Just kidding. You all don't owe me anything except du'as for a good life in this world and the next

So remember my lovelies. Next time your mind has lost it's way and it seems like you ar standing in the middle of the desrt, know with certainty that Allah is with you. He is السميع البصير The All Hearing The All Seeing. He loves you more than your own mother who gave birth to you does

Narated By 'Umar bin Al-Khattab : Some Sabi (i.e. war prisoners, children and woman only) were brought before the Prophet and behold, a woman amongst them was milking her breasts to feed and whenever she found a child amongst the captives, she took it over her chest and nursed it (she had lost her child but later she found him) the Prophet said to us, "Do you think that this lady can throw her son in the fire?" We replied, "No, if she has the power not to throw it (in the fire)." The Prophet then said, "Allah is more merciful to His slaves than this lady to her son."- Sahih Bukhari.

So the next time tears threaten to spill just raise your hands up to Him and you will see miracles unfold in front of your eyes sooner or later

Peace out ✌
