Allah Swt Is With You

Sabr

Have sabr . Be patient . With patience comes great things . Fruit of patience is always sweet . We have all heard these a million times but no one really teaches us how to be patient. How to stay calm when your world is destroyed ? When something you have been praying for is given to others right in front of you and you are just there like okay ....
So again this is a real life story . My story . I have had lets say a rough past but alhumdullilah lifes great with my rab by my side. I have been praying for this particular thing since the past almost 4 years . I was very confident at that time that my duas will be answered in just a few days . I mean it seemed like that to me ... but no allah swt had other plans.
Everyone around me started getting what I was praying for . It didn't happen once or twice . It kept happening again and again. Shaytan as usual started getting on my nerves. So I started praying more and more. I would pray everything anyone would tell me hoping some day allahs mercy will reach me .
Then started the most beautiful journey of my life its been 4 years I have prayed so much and I feel so close to my rab that although my dua is still not answered . I have learnt to have patience to have strong belief that its my rabs plan wherever he takes me I will go.
Its not like I have given up or I don't have hope . I strongly believe that my duas will get answered and inshallah I will get more than I have prayed for and its just not a thought I know I will.
There was a time when if anyone asked me or would even talk about the thing I was praying for I would start crying . My tears weren't in my control. And today again my sister bought that up . My mum also said stuff but I was not crying. I wasn't depressed at all . I was smiling and I said something that even surprised me I said " I am exactly where my allah swt wants me to be . He is right here listening to me and inshallah one day all my duas will be answered "
No one understands why I am happy when I should be crying but I feel special . I feel like allah swt himself taught me how to be patient and these 4 years were worth what I have now . Being so close to my rab gave me satisfaction that I definitely wouldn't have got if my duas were immediately answered. I am still praying and I will keep praying because my rab likes it when the believers pray and ask him for their wishes.
So my advice to all of you there is stay strong take your difficulty as a chance to get closer to allah swt . He himself will teach you how to have sabr.....
