And One More Thing #3: Capacity
Ramadān Reflection
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
There is no one that knows you like Allah.
He knows what you do, your strengths, weaknesses, what you think, what you know, what you conceal, what you reveal, what you spend and what and who you love. He also knows what you can bear. Allahu Akbar!
He knows you completely. He knows me completely and everything He has decreed for us is doable. It is in our capacity.
Allah ﷻ does not place upon us more than we can bear. And His promise is true.
But then, what about those things that seem so hard?
We do not live in an utopia and struggle is part of our faith.
So whatever you are going through; a diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, a divorce, difficulties in your finances, loss of a job or safety, it is not beyond you, but ask Him for ease.
If it brings you to Him in submission, then it has served a huge purpose. It is not in vain. Ya Allah! I submit, utterly, totally and completely.
May Allah ease all that concerns us. Amin.
