There is something to be said when storms come into our lives. Allah puts them there for a reason, a reason sometimes we will never understand or know.
Last week, I made it through a week flooding that hit the state of Georgia, mashallah. The above picture shows the Chattahoochee River flooding near the Fulton/Cobb county line. This photo was taken near the natural forest site, a popular destination for fisherman. As of this posting, the park is still closed due to sustained flood damage.
I saw on the news stations how people were crying over the loss of their homes and their belongings. It is a sad thing, yes; however these people who survived the floods should be grateful that Allah (swt) gave them the gift of life .and that Allah will continue to provide for them. For it is said:
"O you who believe! Remember Allah's favor to you, how a people formed to design to stretch out their hands against you but He withheld their hands from you; and keep your duty to Allah. In Allah let believers put their trust."
(Quran Surah Al-Maida 5:11)
Material possessions are just that- materialistic; they can be replaced. Life is for the here and now so enjoy it!
May peace and blessings be upon you, Muslimah
