~ Surat Al-Baqarah 2/141

Words from God 1

From the Quran: {It may be that you detest something which is good for you; and it may be you love something even though it is bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know.} ~ Surat AlBaqarah 2/216

[Lessons from this verse] Pain doesn't feel good when it happens, but Allah knows that it may be the best thing for us at that moment. And sometimes we may be praying so hard for stuff, and Allah knows how bad it is for us. Allah knows and we do not. Trust in Allah.

TRUST in the promise of Allah

From the Qur'an:

{So she watched out for him from a distance while they did not notice. We kept him from nursing at first, and so (his sister) said: "Shall I lead you to a family who will look after him for you? They will take good care of him." Thus We returned him to his mother so that he might comfort her and she would not feel sad, and so that she would know that Allah's promise is true, even though most of them do not realizeit.}

Surat AlQasas 28/12-13

[Lessons from these verses] Allah promised to protect and return baby Musa, alayhis salam, ... and He fulfilled His promise. When Allah promises us something, it will happen. What has Allah promised you, and is there any doubt in your Creator fulfilling it?

Call on Allah in the GOOD times

From the Qur'an:

When some trouble touches man, he cries to his Lord,turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestows a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) forgets what he cried and prayed for before, and sets up partners to Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy your blasphemy for a little while: verily you are (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"

39:8

[Lessons from this verse] We normally reserve turning in repentance to when troubled times come upon us. No, we are equally commanded to turn in repentance when the mercy of Allah is showered upon us, because that is the time so many people attribute that mercy to other then Allah.
