The Decisive Moment

Among the greatest blessings of Allah upon you is that He guides you to the right choice when you see injustice or evil. Many people's reaction is: the skeptical question: (Why did Allah decree that this injustice and evil should happen?!) The result: bad thoughts about Allah, oppression, despair...so the skeptic who wronged his Lord becomes a new worry added to existence, and another cause of the escalation of injustice and evil! But if the Most Merciful guides you, your reaction will be: (What is my role? How can I do what I can to remove injustice and repel evil?)..And at that time, according to the extent of injustice and evil, your soul will be filled with determination—not worry—and you will see from your Lord, Allah, something amazing! You will become a vessel of His mercy to the oppressed: through you, their suffering will be eased, their tears will be wiped away, and their broken hearts will be mended.. You will see that your words and actions have a good effect you did not expect, and a blessing you never imagined! Because you did not allow Satan to distract you with doubt in the wisdom and mercy of your Lord, but rather you were preoccupied with your duty before the All-Knowing, All-Wise Lord, so Allah fulfilled His promise to you when He said: (No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah. And whoever believes in Allah, He will guide his heart. And Allah is Knowing of all things (11)) (Surah At-Taghabun). (And whoever believes in Allah, He will guide his heart): Whoever believes in Allah with His Names and Attributes, and that He is the All-Knowing, All-Wise, and does not decree anything except for a great wisdom, (He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned)...then he occupies himself with his duty, so Allah guides his heart: He calms and reassures him, and guides him to what he should do to repel evil and injustice, and guides his heart to the profound wisdom in trials and painful decrees. It is the decisive moment when seeing evil and injustice: either you break or you triumph. Satan will attack you to take your hand and plunge you into the swamp of bad thoughts, so repel him and say: (Allah is the Most Knowing and the Most Just, and He is the Most Merciful with His servants...the important thing: what is my role?)..And you will see from this way of dealing a great blessing, you will say the word you do not think will reach the heart of an oppressed person, but Allah blesses it, and the scenes of injustice stored in your memory will turn into awakening and action for the salvation of the nation and humanity, you will discover from the wisdom of your Lord in His painful decrees what you would not have discovered if you sat and wronged the decree and complained about it. So always remember His saying: (That is so. And if Allah willed, He could have made them victorious, but He tests some of you with others)...These are evils that Allah is certainly able to prevent, and injustices He is certainly able to remove, but: (He tests some of you with others)..to see what you do...so occupy yourself with your duty and do not let Satan distract you...in that decisive moment.
