Contemplating Lifetime Stages

(Life is satisfaction, Satisfaction is life)

The Human being, no matter how he reached in status, will not sleep on one side, because life is ups and downs, because the human was created into constant toil and hardship and because Life is not tailored based on everyone’s size as the human will not have everything he wishes, “and that each person will only have what they endeavoured towards,”

When a new born is actually born he lives his early childhood under his parents wings. Then he grows fast to build his own nest wishing he would provide a better comfortable life,  wishing that life will not give him  discomfort but only cheerfulness and wishing that he would  hear no bad news nor he would feel any pain. But sooner he will discover that it was a mere illusion and that life is bound to satisfaction; thus if he gets content  with what he has in any circumstance, Allah will grant him the sweetness in that very bitterness. In the other hand if he gets irritated with hardship he will have to choke down its bitterness, thus it is not about having health or sickness, difficulty or comfort, wealth or poverty..

Even pain and torment can be a source of utter satisfaction for those who try to find it. As the believer believes that” Whoever commits evil will be rewarded accordingly” and that when the words of Allah came down in Surah An-Nissa (Women):” Whoever does an odious deed will be recompensed for it”, the believers seemed worried and horrified of what they heard. Yet the prophet eased and comforted them saying:” Be just and exact, as there is atonement of sins for the Muslim in any suffering he goes through, whether it was an afflicting disaster or a stinging thorn”.

Personally, I am not a unique person, as in every stage blessings and pain get mixed with each other, whether with money, or with health, or with relationships or with the state of our Muslim Ummah, or, or… I barely find track of absolute comfort and rosary happiness, but I also don’t know what’s absolute tiredness, nor extreme suffering, switching from side to side between them, a day here and a day there. Yet despite all of that and with all of that, I realize that my relationship with Allah is the measure and the parameter, it is the essence of the essence and the heart of the heart. Therefore if the relationship was at its best, I will be at my best, yet if there was any disruption, it will be at its worst.

Indeed, I did not find anything that leads people to wrath faster than “comparison” in everything. As if you ever compare yourself with the wealthy and his wealth, with the famous and his fame, with the lucky and his luck, with the healthy and his health, with the handsome and his charm and with the Sovereign and his Sovereignty; you will never find comfort in what you are, you will not be able to be fully grateful to Allah for what you are and you will not seek and wait boosting and growth from Allah; because you prefer some people and some others prefer you. In fact, no one prefers people in everything nor people prefer him in everything. Therefore, if you have been deprived of something then you have been granted many other things, and if you have been granted something, then surely you have been deprived of many other things. You are not above people nor are you better than them, and you are not under people nor are you worse than them; except with what Allah have favoured you with as a Karama (miraculous ability), a Taqwa (Righteousness out of fear of Allah), obedience to Allah and acceptation of deeds…

If you ever choose to be a comparator or associator, which is something inevitable, then compare or associate yourself with people who have eagerness and initiative, the people who have mastering and devotedness (Ihsan) in everything: is knowledge and practice, in benefaction and guidance,  in purity and tidiness, in honesty and faithfulness, in  populating the earth and cultivating it according to the will of Allah, in humbleness and kindness, in apologizing for any mistake and repentance of  sins, in comprehending and visioning…as rivalry is allowed at the level of means, but when it comes to results,  it is in the hands of Allah.

Dear brother and sister… Life is satisfaction and satisfaction is Life…

So work for The Day when it will be said about you, of you and to you, as it is the happiest of your days:” O you tranquil self, return to your Lord, well pleased and well pleasing, so enter among My servants, and enter My Garden.”

In addition, be aware that satisfaction is bond to the fear of Allah, based on His Word, glorified is He, about His luckiest and happiest servants:” Allah is satisfied with them, and they are satisfied with Him. That is for whoever was in awe of his Lord”.
