Problems

Every human has their own problems. Small problems, big problems, problems that cannot be solved by their own, problems caused by their own carelessness, etc. The best part is we cannot possibly run away from them. Based on the Oxford Dictionary, problems are defined as matters or situations regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome. 

However, there is always a solution to every problem and it is to be foolish of us to think that Allah SWT would not help us if we seek for his help. There are times when we have problems and we cannot find a way to overcome the problem, we tend to tell our family and friends about it. As days passes by, the answers and motivations you get from them is the same old thing and none of it seems to help you. So you decided for every single day to never stop finding solutions, you never gave up, yet, there was no light seen in the dark tunnel that you are trapped in. 

I repeat again, there is always a SOLUTION to all PROBLEMS.

Here`s what I have tried and it worked a lot. I would call upon all Muslims, finding difficulties with their lives, no matter how small or big it is, to start a new solution on how to overcome your problems. Have you ever heard of  "Allah is the Best Listener of all listeners" ? Yes, many of us do but I believe we rarely apply this concept in our lives. For instance, instead of complaining or sharing problems with your family and friends, why don't we look askance from Him ? He is the BEST listener, and we just have to believe as well as have faith.

lets call our attention to the meanings of Al Asmaul Husna. If you dont memorize the whole 99 names, I advice you to. In Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, we have the two most common names of Allah that we say and practice everyday.

1. Ar-Rahman : The Most Merciful. 

• The One who has plenty of mercy for the believers and the blasphemers in this world and especially for the believers in the hereafter.
• He has mercy for us, so ASK. Seek for help and we have nothing to lose but His help. 

2. Ar- Rahim : The Compassionate

• The One who has plenty of mercy for the believers

My very top of the mountain point is, if we have a problem, big nor small, we should always ask for help from Him. I am also not saying that we cannot complain to humans. It is actually good that we do so because we are not just complaining, but we are not letting our feelings bottle up for such a long time. What I am saying is that its BEST to tell Him, because He knows best, whatever He says is the best, and its best if we have a lot of faith in Him because again, i would repeat a gazillion times, Allah SWT is The Best Listener. 

"If any think that God will not help him (His Messenger) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off : then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)!" 

(Surah Al Hajj 15:22)

Therefore what else is there for us to say that He will not help us? All that we have to do is just to ask, pray and have faith :-)
