PEARLY WORDS

Are you sad, feeling down or in a fix?

Why don't you ruminate on this pearly words from the Qur'an;

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَىْءٍ مِّنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

(Quran 2:155)

Allah Azza wa Jalla promises us in the above verse that He, from time to time, is going to test us. That we'd go through things that'd scare us, we'd experience hunger, we'd also be afflicted with the calamity of loss of wealth, life and fruits.

Three things that are common to calamities as seen in the above verse are;

1. They would all come from Allah

2. They would all be saddening 

3. Beautiful patience is needed to get through 

Insha Allah, at PW (pearly words), the first point shall be reinforced and reiterated while there shall be motivation to get through the second and encouragement to hold fast to the third.

May Allah assist us as we commence this journey.
