In the name of Allah .
Running to Allah.
Consider the wild: A deer wakes up each day to a world where lions, tigers, cheetahs, hyenas, and other predators are eager to catch and eat it for breakfast. The deer must constantly run away to survive. Now, think about it—who faces the greater challenge, you or the deer?
Allah has given us a chance that no one else has. By Allah, no one else has it. Have you gone to God and requested Him to make you Muslim? You know you're closer to Him if you don't distance yourself from Him. He knows every hardship that harms us. That’s why He encourages us in Surah Al-Imran [3:139]:
"فَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ"
"So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers."
If our belief is true, Allah says, "Don't worry about every challenge you face. I can feel the hard life you're going through, but think about it! When your God knows and watches you, no matter how hard your time is, He is still waiting for your request. Just one request. We have a golden chance to meet Allah, talk to Him, and tell Him whatever you want. No one will say that your time is up. Run to Allah before anyone else. Provide everything to Allah, and say, 'O Allah, today my day started like this and that. I seek Your assistance, and I realize that You're the only one who can solve these issues.'
Look at this verse:
"يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ"
"O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient."
When you hear this verse, you feel like Allah is saying to you closely, "Don't worry, I'm with you. Nothing can harm you or stand in your way. I’m behind you, so keep going and don't look back."
Think about it: when you have excused your day and the sky turns black, and everyone is asleep, you stand in front of your God and tell Him how your day was. He is listening to you and is happy that you stand in front of Him.
While you pray, Allah is with you. But if you don't, I don't know what to say to you. Turn to your God.
