Difficulties and Problems
[image screenshot]
Life is full of difficulties and problems. If man does not equip himself with a weapon of faith and a strong relationship to God, he will fail. It will crumble like the fragile crumbling of buildings. Therefore, Allah Almighty. instructs the believers to always ask Allah for help patiently and prayerfully, when faced with life's difficulties. Patience is not feeling lazy, inferior, and despairing.
But be patient is to feel confident and consider small and light on every difficulty that faces him, accompanied by keep trying hard to overcome them. When a Muslim does so while carrying the weapon of faith to God and trusting fully in his qadha and destiny, he will succeed and he can get through every difficulty safely.
Then Allah forbids the Muslims to believe by saying that the martyrs' (martyrs) have ended their lives after they died in jihad against the unbelievers.
Indeed they have begun a new life where their souls enjoy abundant enjoyment, until Allah will raise them on the Day of Judgment and He will place them in the highest heaven with the prophets and lovers of God. Although now we can not feel this life, because their life is not the same as our life.
Allah says,
ولا تحسبن الذين قتلوا في سبيل الله أمواتا بل أحياء عند ربهم يرزقون (169) فرحين بما آتاهم الله من فضله ويستبشرون بالذين لم يلحقوا بهم من خلفهم ألا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون
Think not that those who are slain in the way of Allah are dead, but they live beside Him again filled with the abundance of sustenance. They are in a state of joy because of the grace of God He has given them, and they rejoice over those who remain behind who have not yet overtaken them. There is no fear for them nor do they grieve. (Surat al-Imraan: 169-170).
