Bad Things Can Never Really Happen To Us..........

Bad Things Can Never Really Happen To Us.......

Abdullah would say "Alhamdulillah" to everything that would happen to him, whether good or bad.

One day, while hunting, the King accidently shot his finger and Abdullah responded with his normal, "Alhamdulillah."

This upset the King and he jailed Abdullah to which he again responded "Alhamdulillah."

Soon thereafter, the King went out hunting again by himself. He strayed into tribal enemy grounds and was captured.

The tribe was about to sacrifice him before they realized that he was missing a finger. Knowing well that, they should not sacrifice an incomplete human being, they released the King.

Ecstatic, the King knew that his misfiring the other day saved his life. He went back home and freed Abdullah.

Afterwards, he asked Abdullah, “I understand now why the loss of my finger was something worth saying "Alhamdulillah" over, but why did you say it when I jailed you?”

Abdullah responded, “Had I been with you that one day instead of in jail, I would have been sacrificed, since I have all of my fingers!"

As Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "The affair of the believer is amazing! The whole of his life is beneficial, and that is only in the case of the believer. When good times come to him, he is thankful and it is good for him, and when bad times befall him, he is patient and it is also good for him."

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the Qur'an: “But it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. And Allah knows and you know not.”
(The Holy Qur'an, 2:216).

Therefore, Brothers and Sisters, always be optimistic and respond with "Alhamdulillah" and remember that everything happens with you is for GOOD. Wherever you are, whether you're suffering or not, remember, Allah knows.

When you’re in a painful situation, sometimes all you want is for someone else to see and understand what you’re going through. Know for a fact that He knows and He is the ONLY one who really knows exactly what you’re going through.

“And be patient for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes.” (52:48)

Wallahu'alam.............
