In the name of Allah
All praise is due to Allah and may peace and blessings be upon his servant and Messenger Muhammad and on his household and all of his Companions.
Amma ba'd (As for what follows):
My dear brothers - the Heavenly Pen has preceded in what will happen until the Day of Judgement, and the Heavenly Scrolls have dried, so do not grieve nor fear.
'And know that if the entire nation were to gather upon benefiting you with something, they would only benefit you with something that Allah has (already) written for you. And if they were to gather upon harming you with something, they would only harm you with something that Allah has (already) written for you.' (At-Tirmidhi)
Allah is
al-Hakeem (The Wise) and there is always wisdom behind His will, even though we may fail to understand it.
Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah the Most High have mercy on him), used to say whilst imprisoned in the fortress of Damascus:-
“If I were to give in charity the worth of this fortress filled with gold, it would not be enough to thank Allah for the blessings this imprisonment has brought.“
Allah is
al-Raqib (The All Observant) - and this means He is the One who knows of and protects.
Allah is
al-Muhsi (The Knower of Each Thing Separately) - As the night is like the blanket for the sky and as the day, fills the world with light - every creature does an act and these acts - He knows each of them separately.
Allah is
al-Wajid (The Resourceful) -
'Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction.' (An-Nisaa, verse 82).
So then I remind you my brothers-
Do not lose Hope:
Allah taa'ala answers the prayer of the disbeliever who is in distress; so how much more can the Muslim expect who doesn't associate partners with Him?
'And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah, making their faith pure for Him only, but when He brings them safely to the land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others.' (al-Qur'an, chapter 29, verse 65)
Lastly, always remember the Promise of Allah -
'Verily, with every hardship, there is relief' Surat Al-Inshirah, verse 6.
