Countless Rewards for the Patient

A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 27:90). Allah ﷻ states in the Holy Qur’an: "Are you recompensed except for what you used to do?" You will be accounted for the things you do, and you will carry a punishment for things you do. The situations of this world are so strange. There are more hardships and sadness in this world. Adam ‘alayhi s-salam had cried for forty years and laughed for one year only. That one year makes all forty years forgotten. It is same in the present time. All mankind has more hardships. But when it comes to happiness, it makes them forget the sadness. To forget is a mercy from Allah ﷻ to people.

Certainly, there are more hardships in the present time. Hardships caused to Muslims are given by Allah ﷻ as a payment for things they did so that they suffer in this world and not leave them for Ākhirah. They pay for their sins in this world and as a reward go clean to Ākhirah. Allah ﷻ will not let them suffer both here and hereafter. Therefore, when there is hardship in this world, Muslims should see it as a penance for their sins. They should not blame others. When they realize their own fault and see it as a penance, it will be easy, as that is the reality. As Allah ﷻ said to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, when someone even steps on a thorn, there is Thawab and mercy for it in the presence of Allah ﷻ.

These days are hard days for everyone. For Muslims, they are not for nothing. For unbelievers, they are useless. Then the more they go wild and do evil, the harder it will get. And their sins will not be erased when they are in hardship. Nothing will be erased in Ākhirah because they came against Allah ﷻ. Therefore, when they keep committing sins, those sins will finish them. To be together with Allah ﷻ is the best thing for clever people. There is nothing better than this.

They have millions and billions but they are useless, even in this world. If something happens, people cannot be saved even if they give all their money. But whoever is with Allah ﷻ will certainly get its benefit. Whoever is against Allah ﷻ will have nothing but hardship and troubles. And the worse conditions await him in Ākhirah. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ help us. Allah ﷻ says: ‘ ’, ‘Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.’ (Qur’ān 39:10). Allah ﷻ says that the patient ones will reach countless rewards insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
