| Buried Treasure (By: Andrew Dernie) |
“Do people think they will be left alone after saying ‘We believe’ without being put to test? We tested those who went before them: God will certainly mark out which ones are truthful and which are lying.”
-Surah Al- ‘Ankabut “The Spider” 29:2-3 (translated by: M. A. S. Abdel Haleem)
" أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يُتْرَكُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آَمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ (٢) وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ (٣)"ُـ -سورة العنكبوت 2-3
Tribulation period is like swimming in stormy sea, as if all the waves come to hit you at the same time.
I am not writing today an inspiring article. And I am not going to tell you how to try to be strong when you have a hard time. And I won’t tell you that every tribulation is building your character and gives you strength.
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”
-Helen Keller
But I am here to drop a thank you note. As I have realized that I found a treasure in my nowadays hard time. They are Real Friends…
I am here to thank you the smiling scientist-The Drone Girl- and you the small pretty flower- BB-.
Really thanks Allah that I have you beside me at this time.
You “The Drone girl” support me and give me your wise advice. And you have never left me alone, instead you became sad for my sadness, crying and praying to ask Allah to help me. Your wisdom always let me see some stuff that I couldn’t realize under my pressure, and your trust & experience encouraged me to tell you my secrets.
And you “BB” you make me happy when you smile. I know that I didn’t tell you some stories about this time, but this is because I don’t want you to be afraid of life, and I don’t want you think that life is so bad. But we must be examined by Allah. Only your way of talking and your charming face let me forget my distress.
I was always wishing to have a friend, a real and true friend. And I thank Allah that He blessed me with this tribulation to know that I have a great treasure.
Thank you… Wishing you the best ever…
Wishing you a better life full of success, joy and happiness…
