Dan apabila manusia ditimpa oleh kecelakaan,
dia berdoa kepada Kami (Allah) dalam keadaan berbaring,
duduk atau berdiri,
tetapi setelah Kami (Allah) lepaskannya daripada kecelakaan itu
dia pergi (begitu sahaja),
seolah-olah dia tidak pernah berdoa kepada Kami (Allah)
untuk menghilangkan kecelakaan yang menimpanya itu.
Begitulah dipandang baik oleh
orang yang melampaui batas itu apa yang mereka kerjakan.

And when affliction touches man,
he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side
or sitting or standing;
but when We remove from him his affliction,
he continues [in disobedience]
as if he had never called upon Us
to [remove] an affliction that touched him.
Thus is made pleasing
to the transgressors that which they have been doing.
[ Surah Yunus Ayat 12 ]

This ayat reminded me of myself.
Don't let me go astray,
'Remember me, and We will remember you'
Insha Allah.
--------------------------------------------------
“If we count the favours of the Almighty upon us and ponder over them carefully,
they will eclipse the difficulties we may be facing.
Whenever we go through some hardship whether long or short term,
we tend to become totally oblivious of the countless bounties of the Almighty upon us.
Nobody on earth can claim to have no trials, hardships or tests.
The difference is mainly connected to how each individual deals with his or her tests and trials.
Some never stop complaining whilst others come across very content
although they may be going through an even greater test.
The secret is to develop our faith in the Almighty and His Mercy,
be thankful for what we have and help ourselves
by looking at those who are in a worse situation. This will most certainly assist us through the remainder of our lives and take us through to the next - with a smile! Aameen.”
