Islamic Spectacles

There are times in life when you feel trapped. Stuck in a corner, no exit in sight. A calamity has struck. The aftermath, devastating. Our vision obscured. Unable to think of any conclusions. Panic, sorrow, worry, anger and fear. One of these, or maybe even all of them become your closes friend. Eager to hold onto you- like a parasite to its host. Clinging on to you, in this state we embrace their company. Its now your only guide, lets you see through their eyes. Offering possible suggestions. Though nothing makes sense. Until you realise all isn't lost...

You slowly reach for the floor and put your Islamic spectacles on. Suddenly your vision is restored. Your friends retreat and take the back seat. You begin to see the world in a new light. brighter then it ever was before. Luminous and vibrant. You realise there is no deity greater than Allah. The blessings he has bestowed upon us are far too many. This 'great calamity' is no longer invincible. Like an overflowing beaker your mind is filled with solutions. Allahu Akbar, Allah is Great.

Whatever the problem no matter how big or how small don't forget that Allah chooses tests us all. Bear in mind he doesn't test you with anything you cant handle. Remember to be grateful in every situation, Alhamdulillah. Allah swt has told us in the Quran
And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirun (the patient)". [2:155]

Remember people keep those specs on! :)
