Displeasure withDivine Decree

part 1

Don’t be sad

One resists Allah in what He

has decided for us

Why me ?????

What did I do to

deserve this

suffering?

I don’t deserve

this !

There is usually rancor in ones heart because of what

they experience in life

He alone decides things

The reality is that…

We can’t choose our

fate

But we can choose our response

what Allah has decreed for us is inevitable

Allah just has to say ‘Be’

And it is !

There are two types of people in this world

God conscious

Worldly people

God conscious people consider the hardships of this

life as a test from Allah

They are patient with the hardships and trials of this

world

For worldly people there is just this world

They only pray for this world
