A Litmus Test

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem 

Al-Anfal 8:53

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِّعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْۙ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 

That is because Allah would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

This ayah is like a litmus test for me. If something is changing that I dislike that means something is changing in my heart as well. Being grateful and being patient is the greatest favor of Allah. And if I dislike something that means either I am ungrateful or impatient. Subhan Allah. Oh Allah let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us. Indeed You are the Granter of bounties. Ameen.
