Allah says, Don’t Worry, a beautiful reminder by brother Mufti Menk.
Allah Swt says (Qur’an 2: 155) We will definitely test you, if you look at that wording of that verse in suratul Baqarah. Allah says, we will definitely indeed very very, confirmed and stressed when I say stressed, I mean Allah has actually said it in a very strong way, he has given it great significance, he says we will definitely test you, with what?
Number 1 test FEAR, what type of fear? Not necessarily one type of fear, all type of fear. You’re worried about your health you’re worried about your food. You worried about your drink, you’re worried about your safety. You’re worried about security, you’re worried about the enemy, you’re worried about animals. You’re worried about electricity, you’re worried about water, you’re worried about ecocash. You’re worried about everything else, Allah says we will test you, its worry its a concern. Its definitely a worry in this country we are going through difficulty, but I want to let you know. It’s not the only country, the most developed countries at this juncture are going through great challenges, huge challenges of a different nature, Subhana’Allah.
Allah says we will test you with fear what are you worried about? Someone asks you, what’s your greatest fear? You have a long list of things to say, I’m worried about this, that how long have you been worried for? I promise you, the last 20-30 years right? Who carried you along? Allah he carried you along. I promise you, you are in a better condition today than you were in the past and we are still worried Subhan’Allah. When we had nothing we were worried now we’ve got something, we are more worried, why is it? Because the reliance is now on what we have no longer on Allah. That’s where the problem is you see what we’re saying. Rely on Allah, Allah says Dont worry. You don’t have, the morsel the next morsel, we will give it to you. But that test of Allah is supposed to be bringing you closer to Allah. He tells you in suratul Baqarah he didn’t even say it later on in the Qur’an.
Right at the beginning, suratul Baqarah, He’s saying, We’re gonna test all of you everyone of you, with what? A little bit of fear, you will be scared sometimes. I explained to you all sorts of different types of fear and hunger, you can understand that on your own, hunger. Sometimes you will be hungry, sometimes there may not be food, sometimes there will be famine. Sometimes there might be money and no food and sometimes there will food and no money. And sometimes there will be neither food nor money, that’s Allah. Subhan’Allah, you will suffer loss, when you suffer loss do you say Alhamdulillah. Allah says you will suffer loss of wealth, your money, boom suddenly one day someone stole it. There was a fire, there was a robbery there was an earthquake. What’s all this about? Allah says that’s the whole reason why we send you on to the Earth. Man, don’t be fooled you know people say you came onto the Earth, just enjoy and you have a lot of money and nice house and everything is smooth it means Allah is happy with you not at all, no ways. Allah says we need to test you. Look at your school, your school to start with, how many of us are educated here? We’ll put up our hands, all of us even the little ones will say we go to school, what’s school all about exam, tests. Do they become easier or more dificult? They become much more dificult as you become closer and closer, higher and higher. You know to rhe end, much more dificult. You’re writing 0-level, you can’t take a kid and put them right up there because you know that’s going to be a difficult exam but when you go through it, what do you say? You come out of the paper and you say Alhamdulillah it was easy, Masha Allah thank Allah, it could of been worse.
