What is more beautiful than to be helpless in front of Allah? It is a fact that we all are dependent on our very next breath, but when we realize our dependency, we begin our journey towards The Almighty.
I would fear the day all my plans were fulfilled. I would also fear the day I realized I have everything. It is a scary spot to be on. To be incomplete in some way, to be helpless due to some physical ailment, to be crushed in the face of adversity, that is when we should be especially thankful. Why? Allah wanted a better plan for you, so He eradicated yours. Allah wanted to bring you closer to Himself, so He afflicted you with illness. Allah wanted to test you so you may be elevated in honor in His eyes, so he sent grief and pain your way.
We often ponder over the things that could have been, of ambitions, of dreams. But find solace in knowing that every weakness you have, endears you to Him.
We are all imperfect and broken in a beautiful way, if only we knew the love with which Allah looks down over us we would love our incompletion. All praise be to Him. All comfort and perfection lies with Him. All broken hearts find peace with Him alone.
