It was a tremendous turning point in my life! And because I love good for you as I love it for myself, I share it with you:

I used to be, when I was exposed to annoyances in my life or saw the injustice and pain that some suffer, a question would come to me: Why? Why was this decreed?

What I had of "intellectual convictions" used to help me to calm the heart, so I would recall Allah's greatness and wisdom and say to myself: There must be an answer even if I don't know it.

Then the question "why" no longer occurred except by way of contemplating what can be known of Allah's wisdom in His decrees...

And the door of questioning about Allah's decrees was closed except for that!

So after this turning point came: great good and benefit extending to others.

This transformation I was not blessed with except by exposure to severe tribulation...with which I learned the meaning of servitude, the station of divinity, and the desperate servant's need for the Great Lord.

A tribulation with which I understood (And they thought there was no refuge from Allah except in Him), for neither discontent saves, nor doubt benefits, rather there must be refuge and surrender!

Allah knows how many doors of good were opened for me after it!

If something painful and sad afflicted me personally, I looked at where I fell short, bore responsibility for my mistakes, repelled afflictions with legislated means, sought reward, and sought Allah's help to turn the trial into blessing...

And if I saw injustice and oppression in others, only one question occupied me: How can I help them and ease their burden?

Allah's actions: (He is not questioned about what He does), for He has perfect wisdom and to Him belong glory and beautiful praise...What matters is what is required of me?

Allah knows how many blessings I saw in that! And how little work became greatly beneficial...and how the heart became reassured and at ease regarding Allah the Almighty, and how much I saw of His generosity and kindness, glory be to Him...

Before this transformation I used to convince myself of Allah's wisdom, and repel what arose of questioning about decree, and the story stopped at this point and I saw that I had won...

But now, I no longer need to repel questions nor recall convictions, for the door of questioning about His actions, glory be to Him, is completely closed, and energies are saved in what I must do, so great horizons that were veiled opened for me, and Allah made me understand of His wisdoms in afflictions what I had not understood nor occurred to me.

So for everyone who doubts their Lord's wisdom: All evidence speaks that your Lord is wiser, more knowing, greater and more merciful, and what has not been unveiled to you is due to your mind's limitation and little understanding of your Lord...so close the door completely, and release your energies in what benefits, and see Allah's gifts after that how they will be!
