Closing Doors To Open More by Lukgaf(m): 6:35am On May 17 |
The great Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah bestow mercy upon him) said, “You should busy yourself doing what has been demanded of you, not what has been guaranteed for you. Provision and Death are two matters that are destined and finalized; so long as the time of death does not arrived, the provision will continue to come.” And if Allah closes one of its paths for a wisdom which He alone knows, He will – out of His mercy – open another path for you which is even more beneficial. Ponder the state of the embryo, how it is fed from the blood of the mother through one path; the umbilical cord. Once it is born and that path is closed, two other paths – the breasts – are opened for him through which nourishment is now provided, except that it’s more delicious than what he used to receive from the first path. Thereafter, these two paths are closed upon weaning the child, but four paths of nourishment replace them which are more perfect for the human being; two food (animal and vegetation) and two drink (water and milk). Eventually, these four paths are also closed by a person dying. However, Allah will open – if he is an inhabitant of Paradise – eight paths in their stead; the eight gates of Paradise, to enter from whichever of them he pleases. In this fashion, Allah does not prevent His slave from attaining any worldly matter, except to give him something better and more beneficial than it. No one enjoys this privilege except the believer; Allah deprives him of acquiring the lower in order to grant him the higher. But due to man’s ignorance of what is actually good for him, and the wisdom, generosity, and kindness of his Creator, he isn’t able to differentiate between what he has been prevented from and what has been preserved for him. On the contrary, he is deeply attracted to the immediate things, even if they may be inferior, and hardly yearns for what has been deferred for him, even if they are superior. If man were just with his Creator – he is not so – he would realize the favor of Allah on him via the worldly enjoyment that He deprived him of, and it being far greater than what He gave him of its enjoyment. Indeed, He only deprived him in order to give him, and He only afflicted him in order to heal him, and He only tested him to strengthen his bond with his Creator, and He only put him to death in order to elevate him, and He only removed him from this worldly life in order to meet Him.”[1] [1] Taken from [al-Fawâ’id], by Ibn al-Qayyim, with adaption https://jamiat.org.za/closing-doors-to-open-more/ 6 Likes 1 Share

So, I just have to lie to get here. Seun, can you tell me the reason a Muslim person can easily comments on a Christian thread but for a Christian person to comment on an Islamic thread reverse is the case. Do you have another motive? It's best you explain things to us. 1 Like |

Blackshared:Just check below your brother's type of comments here. That's the reason. Most of them have low self-esteem with their religion. Hence, they use every opportunity to insult Islam. 1 Like |

Blackshared:you will NEVER see a Muslim abusing Jesus but rather we love and praises him. But the reverse is the case with most Christian. In fact, anywhere you see redicule, abuse , satire towards Christianity it's mostly done by the same so called CHRISTians. |
