Authors Note: Someone asked me about faith, and I'd myself had a pretty rough day, please don't ask me if am okay, just pray that Allah will avenge me, I don't want to curse anyone and I know Allah will take care of it so that I wouldn't have to.
I shared this because I hope this can help you, whatever you are going through know that like the promise of a day that shall come to pass, our hardships will end and ease will take it's place is as true as that very day. That's a promise from the one who swore that He will deal with the unjust on the most awaited of DAYS.Sometimes I really sit and wonder where is He, why is He just sitting and watching, why doesn't He help. THEY ARE HURTING ME O ALLAH. THEY ARE RUINING ME. They are breaking me down. I can't fight anymore. YOU said You will make it better, You said after hardship there is ease, but when, when will this hardship end.
It's been years and years, am losing hope now. Please....
And you wanna know a happy thing, whenever I say that or feel all that, the very next thought that comes to my mind is the saying of Prophet Muhammad pbuh that,
"When Allah intends good for someone He afflicts them with trails."That eases my heart to some extent, and brings a smile on my face, and I say to myself that probably Allah intends good for me but then the pain comes back too fast too soon and I end up in a deep hole my heart created for me.
I know this must sound so familiar to you. We all have same organs after all which meansssss same holes to creep in (duhhhh). You are not alone and neither am I.I know most us go through the very same feeling. We have all felt used, betrayed along with lonely and depressed. Most of us want to end this life which is filled with cruel people. People who break homes and have a good laugh while doing it, people worse than murderers and killers who bully others into killing themselves, people who lie and cheat, people so evil and so damn two faced.
And so with people like these, being patient drives us insane, makes us want to end this and put a stop to this heart clenching pain, because that's the only thing this world has to offer to the ones who do not embraces it fully.
And you know that's not even the worst part, the worst part is, that we are so damn hurt that we don't care who we hurt back because for each their pain and their hurt is greater than anybody else's. And slowly but surely satan uses this and turns us into the ones who ruined us and make us hate ourselves and our lives even further.
Why?
Because satan lovessss the DEPRESSED believers.In this hopelessness, and despair, I forgot that no matter who leave me, Allah you always stay. No matter who say what and who accuses or who lies or who cheats, O Allah you build ways for me to smile.

When we slept, He was awake. When we broke, He held us up. When every means failed, He saved us. When all the creation left us, He remained. He always remains. Never forget when the storms pushed you to your knees and there was no one else who could help you, He carried you. When you were broken and you swore this time it couldn't be fixed-never forget who fixed it. Never forget what He saved you from. Never forget how He put you back together. That moment when you felt helpless and alone, never forget who never left. To forget this is the greatest heedlessness. No matter who or what may be beside you now, never forget those moments when it was only Him. Only Him. That is loyalty. That is true love.
" Yasmin MogahedA year ago O my Rabbi, I couldn't handle it anymore, and that's when you send that special someone and I kinda knew that this hardship wasn't ending anytime soon but u gave me someone who made sure I didn't lose my faith.
She was deeply wounded, and every time she came to you, you gave her something to feel hopeful about. Every single time.
Her life was nothing but misery, and yet everyday I see her cry tears of joy over the surprise happiness u shower upon her.
And we know YOU ARE HERE, YOU ARE NEAR AND YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING. It might take time, but O Allah you are Al Hakeem, the Most Wise, You have a time fixed, Your never late nor early.
You are not sitting idly, you are smiling over us, because you know that soon very soon it'll end and you will shower ur choicest blessings on us, for being tawakkul 'having faith' in You alone.
Let me end by saying that faith is something you need to hold onto because that's the fruit satan what's to snatch away from us.
You want to feel the light of faith? Then smile the next time something good happens like say you won that candy crush game in a row after being sad the entire day, and know in ur heart that it was Allah who wanted to make you happy.
Know that He sees, know that He cares. Know that YOUR pain has a REASON behind it.
Allah NEVER puts you in a hard situation just for fun, He puts you in a hard situation to protect you and prepare you for what's to come.
Like how we try to teach a kid swimming, it seems so hard at first and they just don't know why we are forcing this hardship upon then, what good will this swimming lead them to and then 5-10-20 years down the line, they save themselves or someone from some water body or something that requires them to use this skill of theirs in some emergency and that is when they will know that we pushed them so hard in the pool not because we wanted them to face a hardship and make their life harder but because they didn't see what we saw, the same way we can't see what Allah only Allah sees and so He pushes us and we think why, why such hardship and someday you and I will know and appreciate and value all that which this hardship taught us.
Pray for forgiveness. Beg for forgiveness. Prostate to Him. Cry your heart out to Him. Tell Him what you want to say. And find your heart feel the peace that it truly deserves. Because HasbiAllah, Allah is sufficient for us. For our hearts.
May Allah make it easy for us all. Ameen
