Bismihi Ta`ala
*YOUR DIFFICULTIES ARE FUEL FOR YOUR SUCCESS.*
Allah Ta`ala says ‘’_So, undoubtedly, along with hardship there is ease. Undoubtedly, along with hardship there is ease_.’’(94: 5,6)
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (5) إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (6)
The poet says: ‘’When you are drown in your hardships, then ponder upon the surah Alam Nashrah. Because between one hardship, there are two eases.’’
زاد المسير في علم التفسير – ابن الجوزي -)إذا اشتَدَّ بك العُسْرُ … فَفَكِّر في { أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ }فَعُسْرٌ بَيْنَ يُسْرَيْنِ … إِذا أَبْصَرْتَهُ فَافْرَحْBy merely doing Sabr on our difficulties, we are fuelling our success. The Qur-aan says that Pharaoh/Ramsesses ii and his army were made to perish with the means of patience that Bani Israeel did under his reign.
وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنَى عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْرِشُونَ [الأعراف : 137]
7:137]We caused those people who were deemed to be weak (the Israelites) to inherit the East and West of the land that Wehad blessed. And the sublime word of your Lord was fulfilled for the children of Isra‘il, because they stood patient; andWe destroyed what Pharaoh and his people used to build and what they used to raise high.
قَالُوا أُوذِينَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا قَالَ عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ [الأعراف : 129]
7:129]They said, .We were persecuted before you came to us and after you have come to us.. He said, .Hopefully your Lordwill destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land, then He will see how you act.. One of the reasons why Hazrat Bilaal ra was chosen the muezzin of Tawheed is because he endured the hardships of the Qureishs with great patience and used to constantly cry out in his agony of pain: ‘’Ahad Ahad.’’ ‘’He is One and Only.’’ And also note that there are 4 places mentioned about Isra or Mi`raj from Makkah Mukaramah:
1. From the house of Umme Hani ra2. From Rasouloullah SAW`s own house3. From Masjid Al Haram4. And from the valley of Abu Talib.

Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam was sleeping at the house of Umme Hani ra, then he was brought for heart operation in Haram. Then from there taken flight from the valley of Abu Talib. Wallahu A`lam. But the valley of Abu Talib was the place where Rasouloullah SAW and his sahabahs endured 3 years of constant social and economic boycott.
So Allah Ta`ala elevate you from the burnt coal of your sufferings.Today many places where muslims are dwelling are targeted for their land, their resources and to push them away. Some are boycotted economically on the international arena. The world stay silent on these genocides. An uproar came on Ukraine, because simply they are not mostly muslims…But muslims should not lose hope and should look for help of Allah in patience and salaahs. Because soon the army of Mahdi will come from the actually boycotted area of Afghanistan. The army will camp by Ghouta in Syria affronting the enemy front. The army will then reach Palestine where they will finish Dajaal and the Zionist reign. That day Palestine will be free from the current genocide.Afghanistan/Khurasan, Syria and Palestine are three areas of the world where muslims suffering a lot nowadays. But with the Sabr and patience of these muslims, Insha Allah will raise the help of Allah for muslims to conquer the whole world. This conquest can only be done if all muslims are regular with their salaahs. Patience and Salaah please.
