I was going through my facebook inbox and i came across a message from this one group i;ve joined.. One Ayah a day keeps ignorance away ... http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2319726580
It is a contribution by Maryam Ahmad. messaged to the group members by Ali Alhadithi.
While reading this message i came across this ayah from the Quran which i was aware of but couldn't cite it as i lacked the knowledge of the source..
Surah 23 Al Muminun, ayah 62:
'On no soul do we place a burden greater than it can bear: before us is a record which clearly speaks the truth. They will never be wronged.'
After pondering on this one tends to notice that the reality of this ayah and the part it plays in our everyday life, we tend to get depressed, feel sad but its never more than we can handle. If we start thinking out of the box we realize there is a reason for everything, and anything done with good intention ends up good.
Often when we are experiencing pain or distress we get depressed and start losing hope and the feeling of helplessness starts to settle in.
A quote from the message:
This ayah provides great reassurance in that Allah SWT in His wisdom knows that whoever the person is who is suffering, they can cope, because after all Allah is the one who created us, He knows what we can bear and what will break us. An example of this is the sheer number of people who have suffered in this world from mental and physical torture and abuse to the extent that many of us feel that personally we would not have been able to live if we ourselves experienced the trauma that these people have lived through. Miraculously so many of these people bounce back, despite being heavily affected by their difficult pasts they are able to progress and learn from their experiences.
May Allah give us the strength, patience and knowledge to conduct ourselves in the best possible way when we experience any hardship, and the wisdom to keep turning to Him for His forgiveness and guidance. Ameen.
I got this as a message from the group

and i loved it... its a must read..
{But whosoever turns away from remembrance of Me, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment} [20:124]
{Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions} [16:97]
If you are stricken by poverty, others are chained in debt.
If you don't have shoes, others have no feet.
If you feel pain now, others have been aching for years.
If your son dies, other have lost many.
If you have sinned, then repent.
If you have committed a mistake, correct it.
The doors of repentance are ever open!
The fountain of forgiveness is every rich!
So, don't be sad!
Let all bygones be bygones!
What is predestined for you, you shall see it!
Being sad will not change anything!
So don't be sad!
Sadness spoils your life!
Destroys your happiness!
And turns it into wretchedness!
So don't be sad!
Supplication is your shield!
Prayer is your beacon!
Prostration is your means!
So don't be sad!
See how vast is the earth!
How nice are the gardens and forests!
How bright are the stars!
All are happy, but you are sad!
So, don't be sad!
You have sweet water to drink!
Fresh air to breathe!
Feet to walk with!
You sleep safely in your bed!
So, why be sad?
Every cloud has a silver lining!
After long nights, come the bright sun!
Life will soon give you a smile!
So be ready to get it!
And don't be sad!
Real life is that spent in happiness!
So cross out you sad days from your age!
Peace of mind is the real treasure!
Sorrow avails not!
So don't be sad!
