Practice Tawakkul...

As a Muslim, how many times have you felt the need to bring about positive changes in your life? And how many of those times (despite your good intentions) you failed to bring those changes?

More often than not, the issue that usually stands between us and the beginning of our transformation process is to consciously DECIDE on our personal transformation and then to COMMIT ourselves to the process by putting one’s trust in Allah.

Putting one’s trust in Allah is also referred to as “Tawakkul” and the process entails seeking Allah’s help in the decisions that we take. “Tawakkul”, therefore, instills within us the confidence that can propel us to take the decisions needed to move our lives forward that may have stalled otherwise.

The Flower and the Butterfly

Once there was a man who asked God for a flower and a butterfly. But instead God have him a cactus and a caterpillar.

The man was sad, he didn't understand why his request was mistaken. Then he thought, "Oh well, God has to many people to care for..."

And he decided not to question.

After some time, the man went to check up on his request that he had left forgotten.

To his surprise from the thorny ugly cactus...

And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed...

God does everything right!

His way is ALWAYS the best way,
even to us it seems all wrong.

If you asked God for one thing and received another,
TRUST that He will give you what you need at the appropriate time.

What you want is not always what you need!
God never fails to grant our petitions,
so keep on going for Him
without doubting or murmuring.

Today's THORN...

Is tomorrow's FLOWER!
