Heaven can’t be found like that.
When I read the story of Mary (a.s.) and I was jealous of her patience, then thought to herself, “If all this had happened to me?” So my tears stood up and said, “What if those who used to talk to them were on me?” Unbearable!
I read the story of Hazrat Asiya (as) who was in the custody of Pharaoh, so i was jealous of her patience, if today the husband of one of our sisters says something to her, then she speaks heaven and lifts her on her head.
Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s.) was born in the house of idol-cutting, he was expelled from the house, his father used to bring wood to burn his son, but when he succeeded in the examination, he left the only child in the deserted wilderness, then the order to sacrifice, today a man has so much courage? Never.
Hazrat Ayyub’s illness, everything went away children, wealth, wives, everything, but patience on the trial, today is there so much patience in anyone? Not at all.
Hazrat Yusuf (a.s.) was thrown away from his father in his childhood by his brothers and thrown into the well, then he was paid as a slave, imprisoned but patiently and today if this happens to anyone, then the doubt starts, why is this to me?
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) opened his eyes in an orphanage, then his mother also left and went through various trials and reached the place of prophethood.
A life of constant trial from enemies, can anyone tolerate all this today? Not at all.
So are these examples not enough for us that the life of a Muslim is a test, and we also have to test life in the same way and so have patience?
This life is like the scorching sunshine of a hot desert and we have to lie on the hot sand and carry a heavy stone load on our chest; sometimes there is a bigger trial, lying on the coals and burning the skin and giving the test, we just have to call Ahad, Ahad, Ahad. Paradise is not like this,
