How is life right now? First of all, you've got to start off with Alhamdullilah. How can we not. I read this thing online about this student pouring a spoon of salt into a glass and tasting it and then pouring it into the sea and taking a swig of the sea water and comparing the tastes. Going off on one there but basically, looking at the bigger picture and putting your life into perspective gives you a true idea of your situation. It's obviously beyond doubt that if we looked hard enough at anything we could find things to be unhappy about, to moan about.. BUT let's not lose sight of the overall picture. Compare yourself to where you were last year this time to where you are now. When I do that myself my mind is BLOWN. It was beyond my imagination that I would be in the situation that I am at the moment and there can be no other words than Alhamdullilah to describe my gratitude. I learnt in university in one of the classes I went to, that the animals of the world praise God through their own words but we as people have phrases that we can say such as SubhaanAllah, Alhamdullilah etc made known to us by Allah to express gratitude. I don't know if that makes sense but I thought then about how true this statement is and about how if we didn't have these phrases and duas to say then what would my expressions of gratitude be like? 'Thank you so much Allah, thank you so so sooo much?' *LOOL* My little mind wouldn't have been able to even concoct words to describe the hugeness of the blessings I had received. Some of the duas we read every day have such beautiful wordings to them. To make your children and spouse 'the coolness of your eyes' and 'to looks after my parents as they looked after me when I was small' (that's just me paraphrasing there..but you get my drift). One of my favourites is the dua for ease. It flows so beautifully and rolls of your tongue with such EASE. Anyways, how is my life right now? Alhamdullilah. There are million more problems I don't have that I could have. Alhamdullilah that there are so many difficulties that Allah hasn't tried me with. And I pray to Allah to keep me and my family and friends close to Him only through goodness. Ameen. This is a post of gratitude. Alhamdullilah.
