"And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return." Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the rightly guided." [2: 155-157]
Think about your trails and difficulties compared to many in the world. We complain about not getting a job, getting laid off or the salt in the food, can you compare that to a child in Iraq or Palestine watching his Dad getting killed in front of their eyes and Mom getting raped?
Be Patient and Be Grateful, Allah gave you a shelter to live in, food to eat and so much leisure time that you can sit and read this. Our Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa salam) said that one of the greatest blessings is a cup of cold water, subhanAllah, look where our demands are, how ungrateful have we become while getting so much provisions from Allah (subhana wa tala).
BarakAllahufeekum, your brother in Islam,
