All night, a man called “Allah”
_______________________________________________________________________________
~ When you’re hurt by people who share the same blood as you, then just remember Yusuf (AS), who was betrayed by his own brothers.
If you find your parents opposing you, remember Ibrahim (AS), whose father led him to the fire.
If you’re stuck with a problem where there’s no way out, remember Yunus (AS), stuck in the belly of a whale.
If you’re ill & your body cries with pain, remember Ayoob (AS) who was more ill than you.
When someone slanders you, remember Ai’sha (RA) who was slandered throughout the city.
When you’re lonely, recall Aadam (AS) who was created alone.
When you can’t see any logic around you, think of Nuh (AS) who built an ark without questioning.
If you are mocked by your own relatives then think of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).Allah (SWT) put these Prophets to trial, so that later generations may learn a lesson of patience & perseverance.

"Sometimes you have to fall from the mountain to realize what you are climbing for. Obstacles are placed in our way to see if what we want is really worth fighting for. From every wound there's a scar and every scar tells a story. A story that says, I was deeply wounded but 'I will survive'. He who keeps his heart near Allah will find peace and tranquility, whilst he who gives his heart to the people will find restlessness and apprehension." _______________________________________________________________________
~ The believing woman is never down for long. She is like a willow under a strong wind; she will bend to breaking point but will stay whole. She’ll sail against the tides and storms, she may get bruised from life, but she’ll never give up. Because she knows Allah will not give more than she can bear, she knows her worth and even if she is walked upon or laughed at, No one can take away her dignity, as her refuge is with Allah. ~

~ I asked Allah for strength and Allah gave me difficulties to make me strong, I asked Allah for wisdom and Allah gave me problems to solve, I asked Allah for courage and Allah gave me obstacles to overcome, I asked Allah for love and Allah gave me troubled people to help, I asked Allah for favors and Allah gave me opportunities. Maybe I received nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed. ~
Until his lips were bleeding.
Then the Devil said, “Hey! Mr Gullible!
How comes you’ve been calling all night
And never once heard Allah say, “Here, I am”?
You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what?
I’ll tell you what. Nothing!”
The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned.
Depressed, he threw himself on the ground
And fell into a deep sleep.
In a dream, he met Abraham, who asked,
“Why are you regretting praising Allah?”
The man said, ” I called and called
But Allah never replied, “Here I am.”
Abraham explained, “Allah has said,
“Your calling my name is My reply.
Your longing for Me is My message to you.
All your attempts to reach Me
Are in reality My attempts to reach you.
Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me.
In the silence surrounding every call of “Allah”
Waits a thousand replies of “Here I am.”_______________________________________________________________________________
