THE 21ST DAY FASTING REFLECTION
The act of devotion of fasting is the moment we can distinguish between hope and reality which sometimes cause anxiety on everyone. Many people consider it to be a problem. But whatever happens in this life is solely because of His will.
Allah Said :
“And they denied and followed their inclinations. But FOR EVERY MATTER IS A TIME OF SETTLEMENT”.[Al-Qamar 3]
"And to Allah belong the unseen aspects of the heavens and the earth and TO HIM WILL BE RETURNED THE MATTER, ALL OF IT, so worship Him and rely upon Him. And your Lord is not unaware of that which you do".[Hud 123]
The lack of awareness of such think patterned which impact the anxiety. Meanwhile the problems will come in turns.
Allah Said :
“And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. INDEED, ALLAH WILL ACCOMPLISH HIS PURPOSE. INDEED, ALLAH HAS ALREADY SET FOR EVERYTHING A DECREED EXTENT”.[Aţ-Ţalāq 3]
“AND IF ALLAH SHOULD TOUCH YOU WITH ADVERSITY, THERE IS NO REMOVER OF IT EXCEPT HIM; AND IF HE INTENDS FOR YOU GOOD, THEN THERE IS NO REPELLER OF HIS BOUNTY. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. He is the Mighty Forgiving and the Mighty Merciful”.[Yūnus 107]
“No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah . And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heart. And Allah is Migyty Knowing of all things”.[At-Taghābun 11]
Even frequent the anxiety is intemperance when reality does not correspond to the expectations. Whereas He is the decision maker for everything.
Allah Said :
“Say : "NEVER WILL WE BE STRUCK EXCEPT BY WHAT ALLAH HAS DECREED FOR US; HE IS OUR PROTECTOR." And upon Allah let the believers rely".[At-Tawbah 51]
Therefore avoid anxiety by believing that all His plan must be better than our plan.
Allah Said :
“Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. BUT PERHAPS YOU HATE A THING AND IT IS GOOD FOR YOU; AND PERHAPS YOU LOVE A THING AND IT IS BAD FOR YOU. And Allah Mighty Knows, while you know not”.[Al-Baqarah 216]
In every problem there will always opportunities to be closed to Him. Therefore always remember Him by plenty of "dzikir(=repeatedly chant part of the confession of faith, often in unison, as a form of worship)" to remember Him, to be able to seize peace of heart in order to avoid the anxiety.
Allah Said :
“And those who disbelieved say : "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say : "[O Muhammad], Indeed, Allah leaves astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back to Him",.....Those WHO HAVE BELIEVED AND WHOSE HEARTS ARE ASSURED BY "DZIKIR" OF ALLAH. UNQUISTIONABLY, BY "DZIKIR" OF ALLAH HEARTS ARE ASSURED”.[Ar-Ra`d 27-28]
“O' you who have believed, remember Allah with much "dzikir".....and exalt Him morning and afternoon”.[Al-'Aĥzāb 41-42]
Mighty Right Allah with all His Words.
Allah Said :
“This HOLY-QURAN IS PERFECT NOTIFICATION FOR THE MANKIND; that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is but one God, and that those of understanding will be reminded”.['Ibrāhīm 52]
May all of us are able to clear away from anxiety which is always annoying us by always "dzikir" to remember Him.
