-    STORMS -

We want to lead this life without any difficulties but nature has its own plans. Storms break us down to remind us that there is Only One God who can remove our problems. Some people are very sensitive, kind, considerate and care about others, but they have to face many storms in their lives. They cry in pain to God, "Why me?" but they fail to receive any answer. Their enemies become delightful and pass judgements that God is punishing them for their sins which adds salt to their wounds. Years pass.....sometimes decades.....a miracle happens?....NO, their wishes do not get fulfilled....but the pain makes them slowly turn towards the Almighty. They then realize, that ALLAH was not punishing them. He only wanted to show them the right path which could lead to Him. That was His way of loving them. He chose pain for them in this life so that they could discover the secret of walking on the path which could lead them towards His mercy in afterlife. With this realization, their lives become peaceful. They stop complaining about their life and become grateful for what they have. This attitude makes them stronger and they become patient towards life's matters. Thus they finally try to live this life in submission to obligations towards God and His creation - the people around them...
