O Allah! I seek refuge in you from knowledge that doesn't benefit. And from a heart that doesn't fear (revere You). And from a self that is never satisfied. And from a prayer that is not answered.

“The planning of The Almighty is better for you than your own planning, and He could deprive you from what you ask to test your patience. So let Him see from you a determined patience and you will soon see from Him what will give you joy. And when you have cleaned the paths of answering [of supplication] from the stains of sin [i.e have repented] and were patient about what He has chosen for you, then everything that happens to you is better for you whether you were given or deprived of what you have requested.”

“If you see Allah, Mighty and Magnificent, holding back this world from you, frequently trying you with adversity and tribulation, know that you hold a great status with Him. Know that He is dealing with you as He does with His awliya’ [friends] and chosen elite, and is watching over you, have you not heard His saying, “So wait steadfastly for the judgment of your Lord—you are certainly before Our eyes.” [At-Tur 52:48]”

“And pain is a pointer to our attachments.

That which makes us cry,

that which causes us most pain is where our false attachments lie.

And it is those things which we are attached to as we should only be attached to Allah which become barriers on our path to God.

But the pain itself is what makes the false attachment evident.

The pain creates a condition in our life that we seek to change,

and if there is anything about our condition that we don’t like,

there is a divine formula to change it. God says:

“Verily never will God change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.” (Qur’an, 13:11)”
