wealth of blessings
Verily, with every difficulty there is ease (Quran, 94:6); after night comes day. The clouds of worry will be blown away, the darkness of distress will be dispelled, and the calamaties will end, by Allahs leave.
Think of the world as awhole, of the hospitals filled with patients who have been striken with disease and calamity for many years, and the prisons which thousands of people are held in behind bars, their lives and pleasures ruined. Are there not poor poeple living in tattered tents and hovels, who cannot find a bit to eat? Or others who have lost their sight, hearing or whose arms or legs have been amputated, or who have lost thier minds. Others who are victim to war, losing their homes, and families. But youi are sound in body and good health, living a life of tranquility, security and contentment. So give thanks to Allah the Exalted; All Mericful, for His blessings and do not waste your time with things that are unpleasing to Him.
