Allah give us gifts! But then we often become dependent on those gifts instead of Allah . When Allah give us money, we depend on the money and not Allah. When Allah gives us people, we depend on people and not Allah. When Allah gives us status or power, we depend on and become distracted by these things. When Allah gives us health, we become deceived. We think we will never die. Allah gives us gifts but then we come to love them as we should only love Allah SWT.
We take those gifts and inject them into our heart until they take over. Soon we cannot live without them. Every waking moment is spent in contemplating of them in submission and worship to them. The mind and the heart that was created by Allah, for Allah becomes the property of someone or something else. And then the fear comes. The fear of loss begins to cripple us. The gift that should have remained in our hands - takes over our heart so the fear of losing it consumes us. Soon what was once a gift becomes a weapon of torture and a prison of our own making. How can we be free of this? At times in Allah infinite mercy. Allah free us by taking it away.
P/S : When people hurt you over and over, think of them
like a sand-paper. They may scratch you and hurt
you a bit but in the end, you end up polished and
they end up useless.
