⚡The worldly test and worship is not about what you’ll receive and what you won’t receive in this world – of the comfort, wealth, status, fame, children, etc.
⛔ If comfort was the objective, then remember that the bedding of the Prophet ﷺ was made of palm fibers, and when he used to lay on it, it would leave marks on his back.
⛔ If amassing wealth was the objective, then remember that months would go by and the only thing that the Prophet ﷺ and his family would survive on were water and dates.
⛔ If children were the objective, then remember that all the Prophet’s ﷺ children passed away during his lifetime except for Faatimah رضي الله عنها, who passed away six months after the Prophet’s death.
👉 The Test is whether you’ll be steadfast in the face of the storm – when you feel abandoned, when the world with its vastness becomes constricted for you – obeying and worshiping Allaah تعال till death overtakes you.
📖 Allaah تعالى said:
﴿فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ * وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ﴾
{So Glorify the Praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him). And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death).}
📚[Surah al-Hijr (15): 98-99]
🌺 We were created for the purpose of Worshiping Allaah alone, in comfort and hardship.
