A few weeks ago, I read a Muslim post a status that seems quite despondent.
He mentioned several of the difficulties that we face…from the discrimination by the PAP to the difficulties Muslims face internationally.
The US and Russia, both representing two poles of the same political evil dominate world politics. Capitalism, Zionism, secularism, liberalism, our world is on a path of destruction and we are caught in it.
We try to feed the hungry, we help end oppression, we raise our voices, write petition, teach our children, our young, the not so young to live as Muslims and more challenges appear.
Sometimes it feels like all we do is fight fire. We put one out and another appear. For some, it feels like a never ending battle.
A battle they cannot win.
A battle they are doomed to fight…over and over and over.
To those who despair that the world is in such a terrible state, who feel that nothing we do seem to matter…
Do not despair.
The battle will not end.
And it is not a bad thing.
This life is not for us to relax.
It is one for us to struggle for.
These challenges are opportunities for us. The challenges we face allow us to strive…with our hearts and minds…our sweat…to serve Allah.
We will be tested.
We will face massive challenges.
Our role is to face it. Work at it.
Persevere.
Keep fighting.
Insha Allah every little effort we put in for Allah’s sake, will be rewarded.
When we feel tired…Keep fighting.
When we have been hit so much we struggle to get up…Keep fighting.
When all the world seems to want to destroy us…Keep fighting.
This life is short.
Jannah is eternal.
Keep up the struggle. Know that Allah’s promises are true.
There is no success except with Allah.
