In The Valleys I Grow

Sometimes life seems hard to bear,Full of sorrow, trouble and woeIt's then I have to rememberThat it's in the valleys I grow.If I always stayed on the mountain topAnd never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate Allah's love
And would be living in vain.

I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valleys I grow.

I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.

My Allah will see me through.
My little valleys are nothing
When I picture My bros' & Sis
The valleys of death Which they go through
In Countries such Palestine etc...
Forgive me Allah, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.

Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow.
Continue to strengthen me,
AllahAnd use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for valleys,
Allah For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow!

REMEMBER...
The shortest distance between a problem and a solution
is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Allah,
can stand up to anything.

Insha'Allah Happy moments -
Praise ALLAH...
Difficult moments -
Seek ALLAH...
Painful moments -
Trust ALLAH...
Quiet moments -
Worship ALLAH...
Moment By Moment -
THANK ALLAH

Failure

Many students succumb to such drastic measures. Some students work and study extremely hard but fail. Due to failure, they sink into such depression that they feel they have to take or inject themselves with drugs, tranquilizers, etc. for sleep. Why ?…Because they failed.If a person did not make Tadbeer, i.e. did not make a serious and concerted effort and thereafter fails, then he must blame himself. However, generally, we do make a reasonable effort but sometimes still meet with failure. For example : A person is fit and healthy when he started something but later becomes sick and is unable to complete what he undertook.

Tafweez is placing our matters before Allah Ta’ala, handing them over to Him, and trusting completely in Him, believing that there is goodness in whatever Allah Ta’ala has decided. Outwardly, it may appear as if there is some problem that we are faced with, but great wisdom lies in the decisions of Allah.Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said :

“Strive to acquire what is beneficial for you; seek the aid of Allah; do not lose courage and if a setback overtakes you, do not say : ‘If I had done this then it would have happened like this (i.e. not what had happened).’ Instead say : ‘Allah has ordained this. Whatever He has willed, has happened.’”by Maulana Yunus Patel
