ALLAH KNOWS BEST

…ALLAH KNOWS- When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts.

…ALLAH KNOWS- how hard you have tried!

When you have cried so long and your heart is in anguish …ALLAH HAS COUNTED YOUR TEARS!

If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by …ALLAH IS WAITING WITH YOU!

When you are lonely and your friends are too busy even For a phone call …ALLAH IS BY YOUR SIDE!

When you think you have tried everything and don't know where to turn …ALLAH HAS A SOLUTION!

When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated…ALLAH HAS THE ANSWER!

If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope …ALLAH HAS WHISPERED TO YOU!

When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for …ALLAH HAS BLESSED YOU!

When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe …ALLAH HAS SMILED UPON YOU!

When you have a purpose to fulfil and a dream to follow …ALLAH HAS OPENED YOUR EYES AND CALLED YOU BY NAME!

REMEMBER THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE OR WHATEVER YOU ARE FACING …ALLAH KNOWS, ALLAH KNOWS, ALLAH KNOWS…


Here's something that might help you understand why difficult things Happen to us sometimes.


A man found a cocoon of a butterfly…

One day a small opening appeared.

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress.

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily.

But it had a swollen body and small, shrivelled wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings.

It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Allah's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.

If Allah allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.

We would not be as strong as what we could have been.

We could never "fly"!
