I just read a blog post by Yasmin Mogahed and it stroke me. I thought it would worth to share about it with other people.From what I know, Yasmin Mogahed is quite popular among the teens. She's a writer of the book Reclaim Your Heart which is about spirituality. 

What she wrote really hit me because I'm having a hard time with my family right now and what she wrote is relatable to what I'm feeling right now. She wrote about Asiyah who was tortured brutally by her husband who was Pharaoh, a tyrant at that era. But at the end of her life, she could smile while being tortured because she saw her home in heaven. It was a popular story when I was young but as I get older, it had become a story that I've forgotten. Mrs. Yasmin Mogahed too, had a tough time so she asked for the greatest gift a person could give to another human being, a sincere prayer. A person replied to her,  “May you be shown your Home in Jennah so that any hardship is made easy on you.” When I read it, it hit me too just how it hit her. 

There's no life without hardship. Calamity, difficulties, will definitely happen to us, but how does one person go through them and overcome them explain the strength of a person. I realized something amazing when I read the article. How could I not handle when someone looks me at the wrong way or I don't get what I really want? Asiyah was physically tortured but she could smile. Ibrahim alayhi salam, when he was put into fire, God made the fire cool for him because he believed. These two people, had such strong faith that when calamity hit them, they could still smile because they believed that when they died, they will be in the group of righteous people in heaven. 

From what I can say, calamity is not something that either difficult or easy, as if it has a hierarchy or level of hardship. That's wrong. Calamity could be easy if He gives us his divine of help. There's no one who doesn't face difficulties in life but some people can still face them with a smile because God made the calamity easy for them. That is why, if we face difficulties, instead of just complaining, we should ask for His help. His help is priceless, He is the only one who can grant our wishes, but of course it has to go in tandem with our effort. 

I suggest people who go through hardship to read her article so that everyone realises that we cannot run away from facing challenges and difficulties but to feel easy facing them is to ask for help. Ask help from people. Pray to him. Ask for sincere prayers from other people. God might not answer our prayers now, but He might answer others' prayers for us. ]]> 2017-03-20 02:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/munirahtrj/52uogtizm4c4/wish/161053986
