How
fantastic is the case of a believer : He is the winner in any circumstances. If
he suffers from any ailment, agony or
poverty and withstands them, he is rewarded for his patience. And when he is
blessed With weal and prosperity, and he expresses his gratitude for this, they
pave way for him to a better future.
Indeed,
the baffling situations and tough travails sharpen the man's mind and makes him
the philosopher's stone.
The
stand of a believer toward any accident is to surrender to the will and volition
of Allah. When Ibrahim, the son of our Prophet (P.B.U.H) was in the agonies of
death, he kept him close in his lap. Naturally his eyes brimmed with tears and
he told : O Ibrahim ! we are sad for your departure, but we shall utter only
what may please Allah.
In
the life of a believer, what a vital role plays the quest of Divine pleasure,
it may be appreciated by the following prayer of the Prophet (P.B.U.H):
"O Allah keep me alive as long as the life is
better for me and send me death when the death becomes better for me
".
The
prophet (P.B.U.H) said :
The prayer, which Younus (A.S.) Chanted in the
belly of the fish was :
"There is no God save you : glorified be you
: I was the wrong-doer". So when a Muslim recites this prayer in any
hardship, his prayer is accepted by Allah.
The
line of Demarcation between a Muslim and Disbeliever is that the latter is
demoralized when he falls in a crucial situation. Sometimes he commits suicide
surrendering to his travails. The Believer, on the contrary, rises to all the
occasions and withstands any calamity with restraint and prowess like an
invincible rock. He takes the better of any situation, returning it to the will
of Allah.
