PERHAPS YOU HATE A THING THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU

 

 

Perhaps you hate a thing that is good for you

 

 كُتِبَ عَلَیۡكُمُ ٱلۡقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرۡهࣱ لَّكُمۡۖ وَعَسَىٰۤ أَن تَكۡرَهُوا۟ شَیۡـࣰٔا وَهُوَ خَیۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡۖ وَعَسَىٰۤ أَن تُحِبُّوا۟ شَیۡـࣰٔا وَهُوَ شَرࣱّ لَّكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ یَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 

 

[Surah Al-Baqarah: 216]

 

Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows, while you know not .

Al Baqarah :216

Yusuf ﷺ didn’t want to be thrown into the well, but it was best for him.

 

Musa’s mother didn’t want her son to end up in Firawn’s castle, but it was best for them.

 

The Sahaabah didn’t want to be prevented from Hajj during the treaty of Hudaybiyyah, but it was best for them.

 

Haajarah didn’t want to be left in the desert, but it was best for her.

 

Hence you and I need to understand that when we don’t get what we want, perhaps it’s Allahs way of giving us what we need.

 

Allah's plan is worth the wait.

 

Patience is the key to unlocking the
extraordinary blessings that lie ahead.

 

Trust in Allah's perfect plan.

 

May Allah give us the sense of humour to wait for the plans He have for us.

 

Ameen ..
