Not always do our plans materialize;
not always do our expectations fetch congruous results; not always do our
efforts bear fruit. And then, at times we are faced with staggering circumstances:
a handicapped child is born, a person dies in the prime of his youth, a
flourishing business suddenly runs into great losses, a young lady becomes
a widow, cruel relatives deprive their blood relations from even the basic
necessities of life. The list of course is unending.
It is thus expected of a Muslim to submit
to the Almighty in all circumstances with the belief that whatever has
happened was best for him. We cannot always grasp the profundity of the
Almighty’s wisdom. Time, however, often tells how the ‘untoward’ happening
actually positively influences the course of our life. So instead of becoming
upset and frustrated we must resign to his will and wait to see how things
ultimately take shape.
