Be Content with Allah’s
Decree.
One of the best roads to tranquillity
is being content with Allah.
It is in understanding that no
matter what happens to us, Allah’s plan is best. When we are content with
Allah’s decree, we will work hard, we will do our best but be content with
whatever result comes our way.
Allah’s decree is Divine, and
not always understandable to us in the here and now. Only when we look back do
we understand how Allah’s plan was perfect. Allah’s plan for us is the best for
us, and knowing that makes life incredibly peaceful.
May Allah make us people who
are tranquil in life, and tranquil in death. May Allah make us among those who
hear this call:
O tranquil soul, return to
your Lord, pleased and pleasing to Him. Enter My Garden, Enter My Paradise.
