STRONG BELIEF AND CONDUCT

101

“A strong believer is better and more loved by Allah than a weak one. Out of all good things desire that which is most beneficial for you. Keep supplicating to Allah for help and do not give up. If you are afflicted in any way, do not say: ‘If only I had done this and that

things would have turned out differently.' Instead say: ‘Allah has written and did as He willed.’ The phrase: ‘Had I only’ opens the gates of evil conduct.”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
