Life is Tests and Trial From Allah

Safia and Abdul Kadeer are example of a young couple married at age 21 and they live happily in harmony. They both are just like bestfriend and fulfilled each other. When Safia working then Abdul Kadeer would cook for their dinner and he waited for Safia's coming patiently. My daughter had been staying at their apartment for almost 2 weeks. At that time she was a homeless in London. she had to leave her previous studio flat but unfortunately her new studio flat was not ready to be occupied so she texted the group of Islamic society of her university, Greenwich University. She asked for sisters'help. Safia who only knew my daughter at an Somalia's event that attended by my daughter when Safia sold some cakes at the event, offered my daughter to stay at her apartment free of charge as she had one available room there. Unbelievable but that's true. Allah sent His help through Safia and her husband, Abdul Kadeer. During her stay with them my daughter witnessed a happy young couple life marriage mashaaAllah. Looking them she had hope that her marriage life inshaaAllah khayr as theirs since she was traumatized with my marriage life with her Dad. I am grateful that she opened her eyes and would see that someone's destiny was not always the same. I told her keep believing in Allah's mercy as He is Ar Rahman Ar Rahiim. Never lose from the hope of Allah the Almighty. Even though there will be a time when she has to face hardship in her marriage life, it is a test from Allah. That's why we are here living in the world, to be tested by Allah through the loves one, the wealth, with fear, hunger, poverty, illness, lost and lots of calamities and it is because Allah wants to see who's the best among us, who is patient and keep on the right track. Be patient my dear as surely Allah is with  those one are patient. We are human have no power to reject calamities when they have to come. All happiness, ease and even hardship come from Allah and to Him we surrender everything.  No need to be angry and revenge to someone, no need my daughter, face them, figure out the solution patiently. With hardship there  always be ease. My prayers for your happiness my dear as always.

My duaa for Safia and Abdul Kadeer and their baby in Safia's womb. May Allah bless and help all of you dear. When I was in London, Safia invited us for brunch. She served some Arab delicious meals. Her husband was working from home so he could join us. MashaaAllah they are just 24 years but they are so mature and kind kids. Alhamdulillah Arantxa knows the couple. Hopefully they can maintain good relationship for the sake of Allah. InshaaAllah when I come to London again I would like to visit them again or invited them for dinner together in the restaurant bi idznillah. May Allah bless us good health, provision and opportunity inshaaAllah we will meet again my kids.

Being The Best Bestfriend as Abu Bakr As Sideeq


The best bestfriend was Abu Bakar radhiallahu anhu. He was more than a bestfriend but a closest friend for prophet Muhammad pbuh. He was even more than just closest friend as he was a brother in Islam and the best companion of prophet Muhammad pbuh. He accompanied prophet Muhammad pbuh when he emigrated from Mecca to Medina.  He was the one who responsible for prophet's safety and provided prophet's needs. He was wellknown as As Sideeq. As Sideeq means  a person in a constant state of truthfulness. One who recognizes the truth and adheres to it. The word Siddeeq implies truthfulness to one’s self, those around us and most importantly to Allah. Abu Bakr was such a truthful man. He believed that Allah and His messengers were the truth and the belief entered his heart that lead him to do the right things to please Allah. Then Allah pleased him too. 

Abu Bakr was not only the bestfriend for prophet  Muhammad pbuh but also became the best man for people around him including some slaves. He freed Bilal from tortures done by his master. The bestfriend, the best man would not steel from his bestfriend. Instead of doing bad things he would helped his bestfriend and friends and everyone in remembering Allah, in doing good deeds and freeing the slaves or needy people from tortures. 

Will I become the bestfriend with characteristic  As Sideeq as Abu Bakr? InshaaAllah if there is a good intention there is a way. The best rewards for the truthful person in the side of Allah was Jannah, the best place to stay after we die. There we will stay happily forever. While the person who denied the truth will get nothing unless things in the world which are fake, far from perfect and only temporary and after dying he will be burned in the hellfire. Soon everyone will die and I won't change Jannah by the hellfire.  May Allah make me easy to be a truthful person and protect me from the hellfire aameen.
