‘Whatever situation you find yourself in, derive a point of benefit.’

One piece of advice I'll never forget is when it wassaid to me (or did
I read it somewhere?) that: 'Whatever situation you find yourself in,
derive a point of benefit.'
The last 3 weeks (and beforehand) for me have felt like no less than a
rollercoaster ride – sudden phone calls from family, surprises beyond
my expectation, births followed by deaths followed by spontaneous
family drama, abrupt change of plans, unexpected travelling, finding
myself in situationswhere I've been told to make big decisions in less
than 5mins! Phew, I guess you can say it's been slightly err…
challenging. But subhanallah, one thing that didn't leave my mind is
the golden advice: 'Whatever situation you find yourself in, derive a
point of benefit.' – And it was this that had me sitting & looking
over my situation and the changes that came with it, seeking out the
hidden fawa'id (benefits) and trying to take some lesson from it all.
Everybody has a story to tell, and this is the undisputed fact of
life. The maqadir (decrees) of Allah which are embedded into our lives
swiftly take us on a diverse course whereby we all emerge with
something different to oneanother – different experiences, different
strengths & weaknesses, different mentalities and viewpoints. The wise
one ishe/she who learns from these lessons of life, these Signs and
Sunnan of Allah, our Maker `azza wa jall.
For many, acting upon this advice of learning to derivebenefit from
every moment of life will mean taking a few minutes out on a regular
basis, to contemplate over the course of the day, week or even year.
Regardless of whether you perceive yoursituation to be good or bad(or
somewhere in between), there is always apoint of benefit which you can
obtain and take from. The more you do this, the more you develop your
optimism and judgement in matters – and this not only gives you a
healthy outlook on life's sudden twists and turns, but it
alsoincreases your Iman as youlearn to appreciate the Qadr of Allah,
gain husn al-dhann of Allah (good expectations & opinion) and overall
become a moregrateful slave of Allah.
اللهم اجعلنا من الشاكرين الحامدين التائبين العابدين – اللهم آمـــــين

“Are you a good farm hand?” the farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when thewind blows,” answered thelittle man.

Sleeping Peacefully When the Wind Blows
:->
Can You Sleep when the Wind Blows?
Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He
constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctantto
work on farms along theAtlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that
raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.
As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received A steady
stream ofrefusals.
Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer.
"Are you a good farm hand?" the farmer asked him.
"Well, I can sleep when thewind blows," answered thelittle man.
Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired
him. The little man workedwell around the farm, busy from dawn to
dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of
bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired
hand's sleeping quarters. He shookthe little man and yelled, "Get up!
A storm is coming!Tie things down before they blow away!"
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No sir. I told
you, I can sleep when the wind blows."
Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted tofire him on the
spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his
amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered
with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the
coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured.
Everything was tied down.
Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired
hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind
blew.
When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have
nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blowsthrough your life?
The hired hand in the story wasable to sleep because he had secured
the farm against the storm.
We secure ourselves against the storms of life by grounding ourselves
in the Word of Allah. We don't need to understand, we just need to
hold on to His commands in order to have peace in the middle of
storms.

With Allah, in Islam

You're pushing your way through the crowd,
shining like a rough diamond,
chasing changes, gurus, clover, sound…
that thing to quiet the hidden doubt…
but you won't find it in the avenues of man.
It's with Allah. It's in Islam.
You've got African earth in your eyes,
saffron under your nails, star fruit, indigo,
snow in your midnight hair,
American dust on your boots.
It's not there, in the places of man.
It's with Allah. It's in Islam.
You're seeking lightning, heat, serenade,
and quiet whisper, truth or lie… a sliver of jade,
a sighting of something real, some grain
that doesn't turn, doesn't die, doesn't fade.
It's not there, in the breast of man.
It's with Allah. It's in Islam.
