Servant of Allah

Sometimes things get so bad and you wonder, “Why, God? Why?!” You see people who care far less about their commitment to God than you, and they’re flourishing. But you have played by all the rules and never compromised your morals, yet you ache. Allah says: “Do you really think that you will enter Paradise without going through what those who came before you endured? They were distressed with such adversity and hardship and shaken to the core to the point that the Messenger and those with him cried, ‘Where is the Help of God?!’ Ah! But the help of God was ever near.” [The Qur’an 2:214]
