Migration

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem 

An-Nisa' 4:72

وَإِنَّ مِنكُمْ لَمَن لَّيُبَطِّئَنَّ فَإِنْ أَصَٰبَتْكُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالَ قَدْ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىَّ إِذْ لَمْ أَكُن مَّعَهُمْ شَهِيدًا 

And indeed, there is among you he who lingers behind; and if disaster strikes you, he says, " Allah has favored me in that I was not present with them."

I feel that I need to migrate. Because with continuous reading of Quran, I realized that there is great reward in migration. I also realize that migration doesn't mean migrating from one country to another but it is also the intention to leave the bad. That's what hijr means. First time I hear hijr has a different meaning than migration from one country to other, I was really surprised and didn't believe on second definition. I thought first kind of migration is harder than the second kind of migration but it is actually second kind of migration that is harder because that is right against soul and that is always harder. And it gets even harder when the affliction strikes and someone like the one in this ayah say oh Allah favored me while I didn't do what this person who is struck with affliction did. Subhan Allah. May Allah save us from the people like that. Ameen.  And May Allah strengthen our iman  that when we migrate either physically or spiritually, and we encounter people like these, we don't get weak. Ameen.

Perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you

Assalamoalaekum

I am sharing an ayah that inspired me today. I seek forgivess, guidance and help from  Allah سبحان و تعالى

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

Al-Baqara (البقرة) / 2:216

وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكْرَهُوا۟ شَيْـًٔا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تُحِبُّوا۟ شَيْـًٔا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

  وَعَسَى But perhaps  -  أَنْ [that]  -  تَكْرَهُوا you dislike  -  شَيْئًا a thing  -  وَهُوَ and it  -  خَيْرٌ (is) good  -  لَكُمْ for you;  -  وَعَسَى and perhaps  -  أَنْ [that]  -  تُحِبُّوا you love  -  شَيْئًا a thing  -  وَهُوَ and it  -  شَرٌّ (is)
bad  -  لَكُمْ for you.  -  وَاللَّهُ And Allah  -  يَعْلَمُ knows  -  وَأَنْتُمْ while you  -  لَا (do) not  -  تَعْلَمُونَ know.  -

Many times it happens that I hate a thing that is happening. I hate it and get irritated and when that situation passes, I realize that was the best thing happened to me.  And many times I love certain things without realizing that they are bad for me. But why do I hate certain situations? I hate them because they take me out of my comfort zone. Basically those situations are hard on my soul and I forget that Allah Knows about my soul and I don't know anything. So it is a reminder that Allah always know and I never know. So basically situations become hateful when I start to think that the reverse situation is better for me and I forget that what Allah decided for me is better for me because Allah Knows and I don't know.
