When God Doesn't Give What You Want


Tired of trials and unanswered prayers?
Do you think the Creator and Sustainer of the whole universe cannot give you what you want?
You must realise that when He gives there's wisdom in it and when He withholds there's wisdom in it too.

"And those who have believed and done righteous deeds - for them is forgiveness and noble provision."
{Surah al-Haj, 22:50}

The key to opening the doors of Allah's mercy and bounty is 
TRUST.

This is my new desktop wallpaper. I hope it will always remind me to trust Him and His plans for us, inshaAllah.

Masha-Allah, interesting post sister in Islam :)

Alhamdulillah I was able to find your blog again, sister Shahirah, I believe I used to have your facebook account on my 'facebook friends list' once upon a time then my first fb got deleted then I got another account http://www.facebook.com/anamariam.mababaya

anyways, Masha-Allah, I enjoy reading many of your entries where you share with us your Islamic knowledge :) May Allah accept our good deeds and guide us to more good deeds that please Him (Allah) which will ultimately lead us to Heaven near Him (Allah) and His Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

Take care :)

A very timely reminder for me, Jazakallah Khair Shahirah <3.

I guess when we are on the edge, that's when we are truly tested and we have to trust His Wisdom and Mercy and he knows what's best for us Not what we think is best for us.
