Beloved Slave of Ar-Rahman. (Feels like decades since I last typed this, lol)
I have two topics in mind to write, but as at this time of writing, I've not decided which to focus on exactly.
Let's take a moment to catch up instead, How are you, beloved slave of Ar-Rahman? How have you been?
As for me, I've been on a constant- ILLAHI EASE.
I'm back, looks like I've decided.
MY LORD HAS HANDLED WHAT I AM WORRYING ABOUT.
How often do we worry about our affairs going wrong?
Even when we've prayed about them in the past, our mind still has its way of doing what it knows how to do best- Worry.
One of the stickers I curated for the Shukr Lounge event reads "My Lord has Handled what I Am worrying about", even while I was the one who curated the wordings of the sticker, I really didn't internalize the content until weeks after.
Unrelated: why is this plaintain taking so long to fry?
Was going through 2021 Du'a list and found it included me asking Allah for the best of roommate all through my stay in school.
Fast Forward to 2024, few months ago. There was an unexpected information from the school, asking us to vacate our rooms and move to new ones that would be allocated to us.
Yaa Dhul Jalal was Ikram, I read the news while I was in class and not sure how to explain how or what I felt. Think of anger, sadness, anxiety, worry, just think of them all happening to one person at the same time, ehenhn.
But the highest of my fear then was having to start with a new roommate, forgetting I had prayed about it and MY LORD HAS HANDLED WHAT I WAS WORRYING ABOUT. I even lost the weight I was managing due to worry 🤣🤣.
I worried about sharing space with multiple people, but it felt nothing like it- MY LORD HAD HANDLED IT. I worried about having to start again in a new space, but my Lord sent me helps from all sources, and it felt nothing like it- MY LORD HAD HANDLED IT.
My experience with them was BLISSFUL, just made me realize how most of the things we worry about have been perfected, years even before we were born.
May Allah forgive us every time we whine and doubt His plan.
To you, dear one, beloved slave of Ar-Rahman, Remember that all your current worries, causing anxiety and frustration, HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY YOUR RABB, THE ONE WHO IS IN PERFECT CONTROL OF ALL YOUR AFFAIRS.
He is Al-Hakim (The Most Wise), and nothing stems from Him except what is best for us, even if we don't understand yet.
Your role is to put in your human effort, trust in Him completely, and watch Him do only what is best for you.
Sabr, a little more of it.
I ask Allah to continue to be with us, guiding and protecting us every step of the way.
May our hearts find peace and tranquility, and may our trust in Him grow stronger with each passing day.
I am holding on to this mantra- MY RABB HAS HANDLED WHAT I AM WORRYING ABOUT and thought to share with you, perhaps you will find it helpful. (Anyone wants to help us put it in a beautiful graphic?)
You read my rambling to this point? JazakAllahu khayran
Now go back to reply me, HOW ARE YOU?
Before you ask about the plaintain, it got burnt. Tenku.
Till you find me again.
Your Du'a Buddy:
Aayah
