The last few days have been a little tough. Work, family, nothing seems to be working as planned or hoped. Life keeps getting tougher, and perhaps like a wuss, I keep getting scared. I shouldnt, I know that. But I am torn between my own selfish wishes, versus what society may want me to do. In addition, I am trying to do things, but they arent working out. So what do I do?
Today I opened the Quran, and came across "Yet everything reveals its truth in the end" (54:3). The explanation given to this verse is : "'everything is settled in its own being' ie everything has an intrinsic reality of its own, and is bound to reveal that reality either in this world of thr next; hence eveyrthing must have a purpose or a 'goal' of its own. These two-mutually complementary - interpretations reflect the repeated Quranic statement that everything that exists or happens has a meaning and a purpose. In the present context, the phrase relates both to the truth referred to in the preceding verses and to its rejection by those who are 'wont to follow [but] their own desires'.
Trust God and hope for the best. Pray that I accept whatever comes my way with strength and dignity...
