By @gemsofjannah "Allãh mentions in the Qurān that man is such that he calls upon Allãh during his affliction, seeking refuge. Yet when Allãh relieves him of his affliction, he behaves as though he never called upon Allãh to begin with. Pain is such an emotion, that it can break the strongest of people. Or it can harden the hearts of those who possess soft ones. But pain is a great teacher. If it wasn't for pain, how would we know that our hearts are alive with emotion? How would we know Allãh is there to console us? How would we know what it feels like to prostrate in complete submission to Allãh out of helplessness? How would we learn that we can be stronger when we accept that Allãh is the one who bestows and alleviates pain? Pain teaches us many things. But the greatest thing it teaches us, is to love. It teaches us to love Allãh. It teaches us to turn to Him. To call unto Him. To seek Him. To depend on Him. Pain teaches. And Allãh heals. His love, His mercy, His kindness and His grace heal. They heal our hearts which have been shattered endless times. They heal our hearts which have been dragged back and forth through turmoil, hope and despair. They heal the bruises from disappointment. They heal the cuts which appear from deceit. They heal all this, by His command. If you aren't experiencing the healing process, then maybe just maybe, you haven't sought Allãh enough. Because the truth is, that it is only through seeking, that the healing begins. #GemsOfJannah #Sabr #Allah" via @PhotoRepost_app
