please don't wait when you can want it.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabaraktuh,

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

you know how we generally in most cases hate waiting? we just don't like the process. be it waiting for our parents to pick us from school or waiting for the queue for our meds or waiting for our exam results. we always just prefer things that are now because well, later requires waiting and did I already mention that we don't like that?

right.. but what are we doing waiting now? generally we often think that we haven't embraced our relationship with Allah in ways that we should because we haven't had "turning points". it's like i know it's out there but i'll just wait for it to come find me. oh so now we wait, so now we want to wait? when waiting is not required? when this kind of waiting does not actually teach us about patience?

subhanAllah, has Allah not provided us with eyes so we shall SEE THE TRUTH, has He not provided us with ears so we shall HEAR THE TRUTH and has He not provided us with hearts so we shall FEEL THE TRUTH?

Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient. (57:16)

subhanAllah, no better, no greater words than His.. so I ask myself before anyone else... can I really wait? Is waiting even an option here? If so, until when? Until the hearts hardens? Time is not ours so how can we afford this expense?

Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. We have made clear to you the signs; perhaps you will understand. (57:17)

subhanAllah... how merciful is He. He gives us hope.. if we no longer wait, we can unlock our hearts by repenting, insyaAllah.. don't ever lose hope in the mercy of Allah, if we're really done with waiting and actually want to come to the truth...

And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good. (29:69)

subhanAllah! :') waiting is not in question here, it is a matter of wanting. so replace your I with a N and ask and be sure that He will give it to those who sincerely want it. and He is the All Knowing. subhanAllah..

may Allah forgive me for any wrong intentions of this post and all that erred are due to my flaws and all that are good are of nothing mine to claim but Allah. and as always and should be, speaking to myself before anyone else. Salam.
