2. Undergoing tests is an unavoidable occurrence in life. We cannot choose the nature or time of our tests – but we can choose to pass the tests. To do so, we will have to hold firmly to sabr (patience) and remain pleased with the decision of Allah Ta‘ala.





I thought fate is predetermined, why strive against fate?

The incident of Prophet Ayyoob (‘alaihis salaam) is well known to one and all. Initially, Prophet Ayyoob (‘alaihis salaam) was enjoying great prosperity. He had abundant animals and crops, many children and numerous homes. Allah Ta‘ala then decided to test Nabi Ayyoob (‘alaihis salaam). Hence, he lost all his wealth and even his children. Allah Ta‘ala even tested Nabi Ayyoob (‘alaihis salaam) with an illness that afflicted his entire body. The only two limbs of his body that were spared from this illness were his tongue and his heart. Nevertheless, even in this condition, he would keep his heart and tongue engaged in the remembrance of Allah Ta‘ala.
As for the respected wife of Nabi Ayyoob (‘alaihis salaam), there are two views regarding her name. According to some ‘Ulama, her name was Layyaa, while other ‘Ulama have mentioned that her name was Rahmah.
While Nabi Ayyoob (‘alaihis salaam) was patiently enduring this test, most of the people abandoned him, until he was left alone in a corner of the town. However, his loyal wife never left him or abandoned him. She remembered his favour upon her when conditions were favourable, and hence she remained at his side through thick and thin, ever loyal and faithful.
She would patiently tend to him and see to all his needs. In some narrations, it has even been mentioned that when her wealth was eventually depleted, she began to carry out domestic work in peoples’ homes in order to earn a living and see to her ailing husband’s needs. Together with this, she had lost her children and her husband was extremely sick. Through all these tests, she remained patient and did not complain, even though she went from a life of comfort and happiness to one of difficulty and sadness.
(Al-Bidaayah wan Nihaayah vol. 1 pg. 262)
Lessons:
1. The proverb “a friend in need is a friend indeed” is often quoted, highlighting the fact that a true friend is one who will remain with you in difficult times as well as good times. We can well imagine that if such loyalty is expected of a good friend, then what must be the high level of loyalty that is expected of a true spouse? After all, the relationship between the husband and wife far surpasses any friendship! Hence, a true, loyal wife is not one who will abscond to her father’s house when “the goings get tough”. Rather, she will patiently remain with her husband and assist him, to the best of her ability, as she would expect of him had she been in difficulty.

The mods who see ur IP address and browser login trail. They track you from moniker to moniker and troll u 24 hours round the clock.

The fóol was busy oppressing Niajans with his I'll gotten wealth while making it difficult for legit wealth seekers to do business beyond the Nigerian borders. I hope he gets a nasty cell mate in that fancy prison he is headed for.

End time happenings.

We practice selective democracy so no surprises.

Even the poorest of the poor list used to share money selected some States as having the poorest alone.

Two mouthed govt. They can't bare it but are still paying money to almajiri under the guise of poorest of the poor.

Ha ha ha, The army just confirmed me a prophet.

OK.

iwaeda:
N'Golo Kante has been ruled out of Chelsea's game away to Crystal Palace on Tuesday with a hamstring injury suffered during the recent win over Watford.

Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Hornets at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, but suffered a blow when Kante was forced off the field with just 12 minutes remaining.
The Itay international was a regular for the Blues up until March, but his role as the deepest of Chelsea's midfielders has been taken by Kante in their last four games.

While Lampard was keen to praise Jorginho's attitude, he said: "I don't want to go into personal details, or positional and tactical details of why I pick the team.

"I just have to pick the team as I see best. They're just my choices.

"He's been very professional about it. He wants to play, as every player does. One of the hardest parts of the job is telling a player they're not playing, particularly when they train well - and Jorginho always trains well.

"It's important players, during the course of a long season, are there to support players when they're out - and he's done that."

So kante is Italy international?

OK boss.

Eight y/o and 3 month old getting molested..

One day we may wake up to hear that a loaf of bread was harassed and is now a donut.

Nice. I expect Glo and Airtel to do same for Nigerians.

You were elected for a reason.

That's bad of him.

correct.

BRATISLAVA:
Are universities secondary school that they need to take attendance? Classes aren't compulsory in University. It's your choice to attend, so what is his point?

attendance is compulsory in our runs girls infested schools. anything short of that will amount to govt just funding peoples certificate ambition and not skill/knowledge acquisition.
Cultists also and of course the ghost lecturers who detest IPPIS like coronavirus.

The guy needs brain transplant. If the gift were conditional why didnt he propose when handing the useless gift over to the girl?

na this kind of man go marry finish and treat the wife like fairly used property.

wonders

The man talk true sha.

Money story can change for better or worse after marriage. Can we say same for attitude and potentials?

Blindersoff:
This is the same El Zakzaky many are attacking El Rufai for and whom Falana is defending.

It is clear that the FG knows much more than most do which is why they have refused to release El Zakzaky.

Buhari has remained defiant to the courts and has refused to release El Zakzaky and this picture justifies his reason not to.

Same el rufai who paid killers and said it on Camera or another one?

Good if true. Money is just a piece of paper backed by goods and services. If the while world chases after it and get it, who then produces the things money are meant to buy?

Wrong!

OP should explore the possibility of his wife avoiding getting pregnant also.

The man says things that appear right to the non discerning mind.
If he would criticize the corrupted doctrines of Islam and tradition fueling these reproduction patterns then maybe I will start taking him serious.

All what he has said so far will only result in the governors going to Abuja to use their people's plight to ask for money that will be wasted.

oyatz:
Reduce Tribalism on Nairaland from the present level of 90% to at least 15% (it may be difficult to eradicate it 100% because most Nigerians have residual tribalistic mindset).

I have to agree with that one. Tribalism is something else here.

thundafire:
Dis backward CEO dat refuse to update him site

That kind of gift only comes from Dangote kind of pocket and God.
What Seun got to say? did he get such gift or just TCP/IP packets.
