When a Dream Ends…

May 20, 2015

After a catastrophic
end to a beautiful dream, how is one to console himself if not with the Words
of Allāh? Where do you begin the restoration (of heart, soul, hope, life…)
process? If you wonder, then let me tell you. With this āyah:

You
do not know, perhaps Allāh will bring about a [better/different/another/rectified…]
matter after that. –aṭ-Ṭalāq:1

The use of لعل (perhaps) does not indicate uncertainty when Allāh
uses it for Himself. Rather, it indicates an obligation: Allāh will
bring about a better/different/another/rectified matter.

Hold on to this āyah and let it nurture your belief in the
Promise of Allāh.
