What kind of calamity have you encountered that made you sad and live in misery?


*
If you read the below incidence from sahaba's life. You will analyse how much nyamate from Allah we are enjoying:

Arwah bin al-Zubayr's leg was cut off because of a disease he suffered, on the same day the dearest of his seven sons died.
¤
The dearest son to his heart died after a horse kick killed him.

Arwah said: "Allahumma lakal hamd, Inna lilLahi wa inna Ilaihi raaji'un."
[ Ya Allah! All thanks to You, we are from Allah and to Him is our return ]

You gave me 7 sons and took one, gave me two legs & two hands but took only one leg.

When Allah (SwT) besets calamities on us, He compensates us always by forgiving most of our transgressions. 

When He takes away something, He always gives back better things.

I ask Allah (SwT) to join all true Ummah of Rasool [SAW] together in Jannah.

Days passed, on one ultimate day Arwah went to the house of the Khalifa of the time where he saw a blind old Sheikh with a damaged face.
¤
The Khalifa said:  "Oh Arwah ask this Sheikh his story". 

Arwah asked the Sheik as directed. 
¤
The Sheikh said, "Ya Arwah! I used to live in a valley and in that valley there was nobody richer than me ( money, property and children wise ). 

Within a single night, floods from heavy rains washed away my children, properties
and everything that I ever had. 
By the next day, after sunrise, I had only a small baby and a camel.

The camel ran away, and I ran after it but did not get far when I heard screams of a baby. 
I turned back only to see my baby's head in the mouth of a wolf. 
I tried saving the baby but the wolf had torn him apart. 

As I turned to go away, the wolf jumped and hit my face, that incidence made me blind, and damaged my face.

Arwah asked the Sheikh, "What did you say after all this, Ya Sheikh? ".

The Sheikh replied: I said, "Allahumma Lakalhamd", You Graciously left with me a heart and a tongue that will always Glorify You".

This is the story of real patience; 

these two people are among those who Allah (SwT) mentions thus:
ﺇﻧﻤﺎ ﻳﻮﻓﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻭﻥ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﺑﻐﻴﺮ ﺣﺴﺎﺏ
( "only the patient will be paid back their rewards in full without measure" )

What kind of calamity have you encountered that made you sad and live in misery? 

Can you compare their misery to yours? 
They were patient and Allah promises to Reward them; if we are impatient what reward do we hope to get?

Rabbana Lakalhamd Hamdan Katheeran Tayyiban Mubaarakan Feeh.

We are living with our families; we enjoy good health and well-being. 
We sleep on our beds, others sleep on the floor, some sleep on garbage while many are in their graves.
¤
We eat and drink to our fill, others wake up and go to sleep in the night with empty stomachs, others are on hospital beds unable to eat or drink, they are being fed through the tube, So

" Fa bi ayyi aala'irabbiku maa tukadhiban?" 
¤
(WHICH OF THE FAVOURS OF YOUR LORD ( Allah SwT ) DO YOU DENY?)

May Allah [SwT] reward any person who reads and shares this article.

Please endeavor to *Share* this wonderful story with all your colleagues and loved ones. 

May Allah's Grace and Favours repose in us and our families always Aameen!

Do not weep from a life that made your heart weep. Just say, “Oh Allah compensate me with good in this life and the hereafter:

-  Advice from Imam Ibn al-Qayyim ‏رحمه الله “A friend will not (literally) share your struggles, and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf. So look after yourself, protect yourself, nurture yourself and don’t give life’s events more than what they are really worth. Know for certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination. Your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility.  Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious. If your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high and if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won’t harm you. Do not carry the worries of this life because this is for Allah. And do not carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah. And do not carry the anxiety for the future because it is in the...

WOMEN ARE THE BIGGEST TEMPTATION (fitnah) FOR MEN & THIS IS THE TRUTH (sharee’ah closes all doors that may lead to evil)::

- ALLAH says in surah al-Imran: aya 14: ﴿زُيّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوتِ مِنَ النّسَآء وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَـطِيرِ ..... ""Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, Qanatir Al-Muqantarah of gold and silver,...... ALLAH started with women, because the test with them is more TEMPTING. For instance, the Sahih recorded that the Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said,  «مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً أَضَرَّ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاء»  “I have not left behind me any fitnah (temptation) more harmful to men than women.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5096; Muslim, 2740.)  & It is reported that ‘Abdullâh b. Mas’ûd – radhi allahu anhu – said: If I had ten days left to live, and I knew I would die by the end of them, and I had enough time to get married, I would get married for FEAR of temptation (fitnah of women).

Woman who respects her husband and speaks with softness and wisdom, and in turn he will love her and never leave her:

 - Stubborn Women are Failures. Written by Amina Al-Harbi, social consultant Stubborn women fail in their marriages, and even in their relationships with relatives. Women who lack emotional intelligence and flexibility in dealing with people around them, are the biggest failures in their marriages and their lives. Why? 1- She enters into an egoistic tug of war with her husband, and prefers the voice of her ego to try to overcome him, and in fact she fails before the ego of her husband and the ego of those who are around her, because men become more stubborn in front of a stubborn wife and stubborn sister, and they become more gentle in front of a submissive woman. 2- A headstrong woman thinks that she can win while insisting on her opinion, and she can stand in front of any opposition. She forgets that even if she wins by her obstinacy in her opinion and stand,  she loses the heart that was loving her and caring for her. 3- Many narrations and wise proverbs in all the cultures...
