Seek protection from Allah

We ask the protection of Allah from the condition of those who will be cast in the hellfire.

"Remember when Ayoub (Job) called out to Allah?" He owned much (wealth) and many children, good health, and Allah s.w.t blessed him with many blessings. Yet, Allah tested Ayoub if he was a true believer, and took away the wealth, then Allah took back his offspring. Allah took one of h
is children and continued taking away from Ayub. But still Ayoub remained thankful and passed the test. He still worshiped Allah even when his wealth and offspring were gone. And Allah took his health away.

The bottom line is: Ayoub still was upset. He asked his wife "How long it will last?," as the disease that he was stricken with was truly very bad, but Ayoub still worshiped Allah, and his patience made him pass the test of Allah. The story of Ayoub is a very good example amongst us.

Let us be contented what Allah ordained for us in good and in bad. Worship Him unconditionally. Remember do not under estimate the mercy of Allah. He is the most forgiving, the Most merciful. [not an hadith, a reminder for myself and foremost]
