If Reality Doesn’t Fit With Our Desire




Desire is a sense of longing that excited by the enjoyment or the thought of the item or person, and they want to take actions to obtain their goal (wikipedia)


Sometimes the gift from God that given to us isn’t according with our desire? Sometimes we, as humans,complain or don’t appreciate the gift from God Almighty does not match our expectations. In fact, we don’t know if that's actually good for us. We just continue to blame His decision. Not fair, not right, or other complaints. We rarely see the positive side of the gift. In fact,
 God is always give the best for us.

Therefore, when we have a disaster, do not be quick to complain. Look at the bright side.Think of God's love to us, because God wanted to take away our sins through the exam.


Rasulullah SAW said, "It is no misfortune befalls a Muslim, a sense of tired bodies, constant hunger or pain, feeling sad / hate related to the present, feeling sad / hate related to the past, the interference of others in him/her (muslim), something which makes the liver becomes congested to the point of thorns pierced, But God would delete his/her (muslim) faults with this "(Reported by Bukhari no 5641, Muslim no. in 2573).


Likewise, when God's decision does not match our expectations. Perhaps it is for the good of our long-term. Remember, God give us what we NEED, not what we EXPECT, because it could be what we hoped would bring harm to us. 


Allah 'Azza wa Jalla said, "... It may be you dislike a thing which is good for you, and can be (too) you love a thing which is bad for you, Allah knows and you do not know." (QS Al-Baqarah: 216)


Separation with those we love, a disease which undermine our bodies, a few tests we have to take the positive side. Don’t  continue to complain and complain. Because, it's no use also continued to bemoan the fate. Occasionally, we brave to take the positive side of it all. Because, behind all events, there is wisdom. Wallahu a’lam.

Once a brother and sister walk away carrying yoke containing applethey want to go into the vehicle transporting to the market. Suddenly in the middle of the trip, load up all the broken brother brought apple falls into rice fields and caused huge losses. With a full sense of melancholy and regret his brother is back home with unceasing murmur. Two hours later, then came the news that the vehicle is used to host just now had an accident and all passengers to be seriously wounded. Subhanallah, a broken pole that two hours ago to a very great misfortune; turned into a great fortune.

This is a story that illustrates how what we think is not necessarily good either by Allah SWT.
