MasyaAllah well written! Good reminder for me and you. by Ruzky Aliyar - "It doesn't make any sense". READ! in the name of Allah..
Why do some things in life not work out the way you want them to?’ said the boy.
Why do some things in life not work out the way you want them to?’ said the boy.
‘How do you know that was what you really wanted?’ asked the
girl.
‘How would I know that?’
he asked her.
‘If what I want is not
really what I want, then how would I ever know whatever it is that I want to be
the thing I really want…?’ he thought aloud.
‘Well, you see, that’s the beauty of it,’ she replied.
‘And it’s making my head
ache,’ he added for good measure.
‘Okay… let me ask you something, little brother. You might find
it a bit strange.”
‘Go on…’
‘What do you find beautiful?’
He looked at her incredulously and decided not to reply.
She smiled at him, ‘All right,
I’ll choose something and we’ll both agree that it is beautiful for the sake of
argument.’
‘It’s a sunny day and both of us return home after going for a
walk. We go in and sit
in the living room and decide not to take our sunglasses off. Madagascar, the
movie, is playing on TV. It had been really sunny so we had chosen very
dark-tinted sunglasses. Enter Mort. Do you know Mort?’
‘The big-eyed cute thing?’ he said, amused at the choice of character to take stage.

Mort in Madagascar |
‘Yep, the big-eyed cute thing,’ she laughed. ‘Now we still haven’t taken our sunglasses off and the movie is in 3D. Mort comes on TV but we don’t recognise him to be the cute cuddly thing everyone knows and loves. It all seems blurry. Unclear. And dark.’ She looked at him. He was listening attentively. She continued, ‘Do you see the problem? We cannot appreciate Mort for the cuteness he is because there is a problem in the way we’re looking at him.’
There is a problem in the way we view the world, or in the way we look at something because we didn't take off our sunglasses!!! you know what I mean? |
She turned so that she was facing him directly. He was listening
intently, patiently waiting for her to carry on.
She smiled at him and continued,
‘Reality is, mostly, not as we perceive it to be. We view it through lenses painted by our current state of mind. There are many shades of interpretation and sometimes we need to change the lenses with which we view the world.

there are many shades of interpretation in our mind.... |
We will not understand the wisdom
behind every moment in time unless He blesses us with the ability to discern
between what is reality and what is, in reality, a figment of our imagination.’
He furrowed his brows, ‘So how would we know what we really
want?’
‘Well, that’s a bit harder to know, and it takes quite a bit of
work and effort,’ she said letting out a long sigh.
After a brief pause she continued,
‘You see, what we understand
depends on the state of our heart… So the better I make myself, the less
cluttered my heart will become, and the more clear my view of the world and the
better I would understand things.’
‘You see, no one can ever be sure that their heart is at its best.
‘You see, no one can ever be sure that their heart is at its best.
Her face broke into a wide smile,
‘No one loves you more than
Allah.
No one cares for you more than Allah.
No one knows what is best for you
except Allah.
Even we don’t know what’s best for us most of the time. But He
does—always.
He knows what is best for you, when it’s best for you,
where it’s
best for you and in what way it’s best for you.
All you need to do is just hand
it all to Him and He’ll take care of it all and give you, without doubt, what
is best for you.’
He pulled a face at his sister and grinned—something he always
did when she made him see things clearly. She smiled at him and beckoned him to
look at the lake.
Let us pray together.... May Allah always with us, guide us and help us in our way to clean our heart, so that we could understand things better!! Amiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin..... I'm on my way to improve myself and my heart. Alhamdulillah today I get the answer for my question --> why I couldn't understand things in the way it should be. Maybe because I have problems with my heart.. may Allah forgive me and have mercy on me and you.
