My Gem
Just what I felt in my life that how I was and how should I be. And to what extent I have corrected myself. I would like to share here.
It always happens with us especially with me that we perform good deeds and we expect something in return. We think that I'm serving Allah and definitely Allah will give this to me in return through a different medium. Its like we have conditioned ourselves. A good deed must always result in something good in this world. And this makes us forget that the world is a test from Allah. It's a combination of good and evil. And everything in here is irrational, just absurd. We cannot bound our deeds and our circumstances under causation rule. It isn't Karma.
Whenever bad happens to us we always came in doubt about our belief. We ask, Oh Allah why you did this to me? We never realize that it's our test. And more primarily its always about me. We never think that we have taken 'bayah' inside our mother's womb. And it's the 'I' for which I'm complaining to Allah again and again. Rather it should be about the servant who has pledged to Allah and has fully submitted himself to Allah. Who wants to become firm on his devotion to Allah whatever may be his circumstances (Alhumdullilahi ala quli haal). Love and devotion of a servant to his Lord must be unconditional. But our devotion is conditioned. We always complain about smaller issues. We never realize that it's the test of our Iman on Allah, not the test of Allah being our guardian.
Instantly reminding ourselves of our tasbee, of the gratitude in front of Allah's mercy, will make us feel about our shortcomings. It will make us feel that this 'I' is just nothing in front of Allah. And this state of nothingness will motivate us to do more and more deeds expecting nothing materially just the mercy of Allah.
