💌 No matter how much effort you put in achieving
Something, like organizing an event or meeting,
Marrying someone, finding a decent profession,
Accomplishing tasks or transactions, or networking,
Never can it occur if it was never destined.
~•~
Allah, our Creator, is the One to determine
What we receive, what we go through, and what He prevents,
Who from His servants are meant to meet us and befriend,
And who from His slaves are chosen to test our patience.
Trust Allah and know our Qadr is controlled by Him.
~•~
When your plans don't work out as you liked or imagined,
When told "no, it can't be done" or "next time, try again",
Or chances are too slim for a project to happen,
Be glad at least you tried to fulfill undertakings,
While you gained Allah's Love for your patient contentment.
~•~
Believe there's no "sayang", "all our attempts meant nothing",
And "what a waste" if your faith is strong as a Muslim.
Hope for rewards from Allah for sincere good actions,
Sins falling off with each stress, ache and disappointment,
And being tested by Allah means you're loved by Him.
~•~
Alhamdulillah for Allah's Mercy and Guidance.
Despite outcomes, we're rewarded for our intentions.
When eager to fulfill dreams or achieve anything,
Have full trust in Allah, strive, accept what He destines.
If you fail, then win Jannah for your faith and patience.

📖 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."

📖 Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most severely tested?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are the prophets, then the next best (in terms of righteousness), then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
