💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Oftentimes Allah the All-Knowing answers your Du'as not in the form of giving, bestowing and adding, but in taking something from you, removing someone from your circle of companions and preventing you from attaining certain things you assume are good for you when in reality they aren't. So when your job application was rejected, when that marriage proposal was not accepted, when those individuals whom you thought could be trustworthy friends became total strangers again, when you and some souls aren't close anymore, when you weren't able to pass an exam, when a project was cancelled, when you lost interest in a permissible activity, when you didn't make it to a particular event, when many have disappointed you so you can't confide in them like you used to, whatever it is that you lost or couldn't achieve may be a blessing in disguise. Maybe Allah is protecting you from the bad influence of someone, from possessing qualities that He dislikes like greed, miserliness and excessive pride, or He wants something ideally suitable for you which is more rewarding as it enhances patience and can lead you faster to the way to Jannah Paradise. Since we're humans with a limited capacity to perceive Allah's Wisdom and we don't have all the knowledge of what goes on around us, it's not right at all to question Him why things are the way they are and why we can't do everything that we like.
In the next life Inn-sha-Allah we can discover that Allah indeed shielded us from several unfortunate outcomes by not giving us all that we desired.

📖 Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."
