I was flipping through random pages of the Quran and you know how sometimes people say, they’ll be praying on a sign and suddenly comes across an ayah that explains beautifully about the worries in your heart and mind.
I found mine today. Was on Al-Kahf and thinking oh man – 110 ayahs. Banyaknya kalau nak baca on Khamis – Jumaat. Then i found this ayah.
Al-Kahf 18:46
ٱلۡمَالُ وَٱلۡبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيۡرٌ أَمَلًا
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope.
I am always worried about money – like am i going to have enough by the end of the month for salaries, bills, etc. It truly drives me nuts sometimes.
I prayed for my rezeki diluaskan enough to stay afloat and to cover all opex, so I can not worry too much about money and will be able to focus more on ibadaah.
And then i found this ayah. SubhanAllah! May Allah give me strength to fight through and grant me istiqamah in maintaining a close relationship to Him. You truly never know when is your last day on earth. I pray that we all get beautiful endings and reunite in His Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen!
