Struggles benefit - The man who wanted to help the butterfly

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hoursas it struggled to
force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making
any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and
it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He tooka pair of scissors
and snipped off the remainingbit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it hada swollen body and
small,shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at
any moment, the wingswould enlarge and expand to be able to support
the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was
able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that
the restricting cocoon andthe struggle required for the butterfly to
get through the tiny opening were Allah's way of forcing fluid from
the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for
flight once it achieved its freedom fromthe cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If Allah
allowed us to go through our liveswithout any obstacles, it would
cripple us.
We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never "fly"!
I asked for Strength.........
And Allah gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom.........
And Allah gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.........
And Allah gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage.........
And Allah gave me Dangerto overcome.
I asked for Love..........
And Allah gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favours.........
And Allah gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ........
I received everything I needed!
"So blessed be Allah, the best of creators!"
