Allah’s Displeasure

.....................................................................................................................

If Allah Ta’ala is displeased then one will never experience peace and happiness in life. Presently, just about everyone is found complaining that life has become ‘tight’, ‘narrow’ and difficult, due to various reasons : economic and financial problems, or the fear that has gripped the entire country : the crime rate, hijackings, murders and killings – all of which just increases tension and fear.

We have become prisoners in our homes and businesses. There is no trace of the peace, comfort and security that had been experienced by our grandparents and those who lived 40 and 50 years ago.

The changing conditions are directly related to our change for the worse. Allah Ta’ala informs us in the Qur`aan Sharief, in various verses :

“…Allah does not change the condition of a people until they  change that which is in themselves (meaning that when people indulge in sins, conditions of adversity, oppression, suppression, as well as other disasters will befall them.)…”
[Surah Ar-Ra’d 13 : 11]

“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned…”
[Surah Ash-Shuura 42 : 30]

“Corruption (strife, hardship, etc.) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of people have earned              (by evil deeds) that Allah may make them taste a part of that which they have done…”
[Surah Ar-Rum 30 : 41]

With plentiful too, our lives have become miserable. My Sheikh says that that person, who has earned the displeasure of Allah, can have delicious ‘kabaab’ in his mouth but he will have Azaab (punishment) in his heart. Can there be any taste in the mouth when Azaab has engulfed the heart ?

Allah Ta’ala says :

“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.” [Surah Ar-Ra’d 13 : 28]

The coolness of the heart lies in Zikr (Praise of Allah Ta'ala)ullah, Durood Sharief upon Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the fulfillment of the commandments of Shariah. Peace of mind and tranquility is found only in obedience.

Otherwise, the home will not offer any comfort, the children will not be the coolness of our eyes, wealth will make life miserable and everything will be intolerable…to say the least.

O Allah, if You are not mine,
Then nothing is mine.
And if You are mine,
Then everything is mine.

When we will please Allah Ta’ala, then He will fill our hearts with the coolness and comfort of serenity and tranquillity. Irrespective of the external conditions, the heart and soul will enjoy peace and contentment. The person can be surrounded by difficulty but the condition of his heart will be comparable to a rose blooming amidst thorns.
