Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Assalamualaikum.

Dear readers, hope that you will have a very bright day today and the up coming days ahead. However, if any of your days is not as bright as you hope it should be, just keep your head high, smile, and don't feel so down like your life is going to end at that moment.

Everything happens for a reason, or maybe lots of reasons that we might not know at that particular time. Doesn't matter either the situation causes you to feel happy, or sad, or both. If bad things happen, they are tests by Allah SWT to test us either we will seek help from Him and become a stronger, more matured person or not. The harder the test, the more Allah loves you. Feeling hard in memorizing all the information in your studies, being dumped or cheated by your love ones, your face is full of pimples and what so ever that can cause you trouble and feel sad, bad, frustrated, or angry, please say 'Astaghfirullahalazim' or 'ya Latif', insyaAllah you will feel calm in no time. If you are feeling scared, try saying 'ya Qahar', insyaAllah all your frightens will disappeared. You might also wanna try to read surah al-Radh just in case u are seeking for His guidance (petunjuk). Trust me, alhamdulillah it works for me all the time!

أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يُتْرَكُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ.

Maksudnya; Apakah manusia itu mengira bahwa mereka dibiarkan (saja) mengatakan: "Kami Telah beriman", sedang mereka tidak diuji lagi? Dan Sesungguhnya kami Telah menguji orang-orang yang sebelum mereka, Maka Sesungguhnya Allah mengetahui orang-orang yang benar dan Sesungguhnya dia mengetahui orang-orang yang dusta.  

What if good things happen? Well they are also tests by Allah SWT to us, to test us either we are a grateful person or not. For examples, you are getting high grades in your examination, you are in a good condition and healthy, you are getting promoted or just simply you are having a smooth skin without any pimple on your face or even falling in love, everything that makes u feel happy can be considered as nikmat, and always remember to say 'Alhamdulillah' (all praise and thanks be to Allah). For an extra, do some sujud syukur and solat sunat dhuha as well. 

So dear my beloved readers, if you feel happy, be grateful bout it. If you feel bad, learn from it. Allah has planned our life perfectly, so we just have to go with the flow. We might not knowing the silver for each cloud, it may take days, weeks, months or even years for us to really understand the reasons behind each everything that happened, but 1 thing for sure, Allah is the best planner. So have faith in Him. Never stop praying no matter how happy or sad you are. Maybe you will smile for today, but who knows tomorrow you might cry, or just simply vice versa.

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

  Hanya Engkaulah yang kami sembah, dan hanya kepada Engkaulah kami meminta pertolongan. 

(al-Fatihah, ayat:5)
