How strange…
September 2, 2010O Slave of Allah! How strange is your affair
You are heedless of your Lord
Yet He remembers you much
You fast not for His Sake
Yet He provides for you your sustenance
You question Him when calamity falls
Yet He keeps you safe from every harm
You walk not to His house
Yet He provides you with a healthy body
You turn your face away
Yet He blesses you with beauty
You withhold your hands
Yet He provides for you wealth
Your face does not turn red when He is abused
Yet He answers you when you need
You complain about what you don’t have
Yet He showers you with blessings
You compete in sin
Yet He withholds His punishment
You laugh like you will live forever
Yet He allows you to wake each day
O Slave of Allah!
Who destroys you but you?

Simply beautiful.
That was heartfelt and beautifully written, mashallah.
“O Slave of Allah! How strange is your affair

Subhana’Allah, how Allah remembers us and gives to us things we didn’t even ask for… the blessings come and come! May Allah allow us to be of those who are grateful.
JaazaakAllah khayr for the reminders.
