How
do you feel when darkness surrounds your life? Abyssal darkness? Pitfull
darkness that traps you in its unfathomable maze? You can scream all day long
but no one to hear you? Not a single ray of light to arrive your soul? Not a
single hand to reach out to you? And then you feel fear, cold fear; fear
that you never knew existed. You feel afraid and helpless. You cry out in the
dark, you scream out in pain and nobody to listen to your dying heart…. You
feel insurmountable pain, you feel cannot hold on much longer.
A big wonder it is what illusions can do to you, how much power it can have over you, and how much unnecessary pain it can cause to you. Fear engulfs us all but it is an illusion, a false illusion. Fear is the demon that hisses in your ear when it sees it dark around you. But once you turn on the light fear escapes like a sneaking thief. Fear, the devil’s genius weapon to fool you.

Let
us have a look at what the great book say about fear -
It is the devil's system to instill fear into
his subjects. Do not fear them and fear Me instead, if you are believers.
(Quran)
Indeed. Fear your Allah alone. Fear only your Lord and nobody else, nothing else. Only when you can fear Allah alone you can conquer the devil’s delusional traps. Because with fear in your Lord, trust in your Lord arises. When you learn to trust, all other fear evaporates. You do not even fear your own sorrows, because you believe, Allah will help you, somehow someway. You do not fear misfortunes, because you know,Allah’s help is soon to arrive. You do not fear failures because you believe your Lord will pull you out of your shortcomings, He is Merciful, He will help you someway. Allah is the one who extends horizons. He will extend your horizon also when your moment comes. You do not even fear tragedies, because you lovingly put trust in your Lord, in your Allah, that no matter what happens in your life He must have a good reason for you to cause you sufferings. You live with deep loving trust in your Lord. For the first time in life you experience peace. With faith in your Lord all other fears disappear. There is nothing else to fear in your life, you start to live. Your trust in your Lord is like a divine candle, which glows in your your heart spreading around a divine aura.
There is a beautiful Sufi song written by a Sufi mystic, whose name, unfortunately, I have not been able to find out. By this song the songwriter, or rather the poet relates the story of a bird. One day the wings of the bird were broken and the bird fell hard on the ground. The bird was so badly injured that it could not be healed anymore but instead of crying at his misfortune the bird kept on laughing, and saying the divine lines,
“Allah ke bande hasde, …..jo bhi hokal phir ayega…..”
“The people of Allah will always be laughing…there will always be another day…”
One who trusts in Allah will always stay happy, no matter what comes in life, no matter what happens. Allah is Most-Forgiving, He will forgive, and there will always be another day, a new day, a new sunrise, a new chance. So the people of Allah, the servants of Allah should always stay happy because their Lord will always help them out.
The full song is as follows _
The little bird lived .....far...far...above in a land of dreams........
Once it happened....probably while flying over our earth.......
that the tender heart of the creature got hurt......
So badly that it couldn't ever be healed...
The soft and serene wings turned heavy...
It couldn't be lifted any more...
And our bird kept on falling from the height.....
Eventually got soiled by the dust beneath.....
Still in its dreams were its old abode.......the transparent cloud.......
Though shattered, it didn't let hope evade and the lips chanted without halt....
Allah Ke Bande Hasde Jo Bhi Ho Kal Phir Aayega
The people of Allah will always be laughing... whatever happens, there will always be another day
Seeing the undying spirit of the little bird....
The ever watchful venerable saint stood out of respect and murmured.....
"The loss of wings is temporary..this bird is going to fly far above imagination"
Enlightened by the incident, he proclaimed to humanity.....
"Don't be faint hearted if struck by difficulties....
Take along the sorrows with you without hesitation.....
It would be useful beyond words.........
Though it has scattered your dreams to pieces....
In that pieces you will find a hidden treasure gifted by your loving lord"
Sometimes we do have to lose our wings to learn to fly. Perhaps in losing our wings, when we walk on the ground we discover something that we would otherwise not have realized while we were up there in the sky. As a great saying goes, “Happiness has height and pain has depth”, may be sometimes we have to fall to learn about depth. Just knowing the height is never enough. Life will remain meaningless if we cannot explore the depth. In the depth of life secrets are hidden that one needs to uncover. We have to dive into depth to discover God’s Will. Reaching the depth is not easy. The door to depth is locked with pains and sufferings also. When you open that door, you will also have to taste the pains. Opening that door requires courage. Sometimes the door accidentally opens but we make an escape, anything to escape from the pains. But accepting the sorrows is worth of it because behind it lies the hidden treasures of Life.
“Kho Ke Aapne Par Hi To Usne Tha Ud Naa Sikha
Gham Ko Aapne Saath Mein Lele Dard Bhi Tere Kaam Aayega”
“Take along the sorrows with you without hesitation.....
It would be useful beyond words.........
Though it has scattered your dreams to pieces....
In that pieces you will find a hidden treasure gifted by your loving lord"
In diving into depths of life you learn precious skills, skills that you were never even aware of, skills that are required to reach to the ultimate. The skill is required to show you the key to unlock your life’s treasures. The key of life is of an intricate design, it is crafted with joys and sorrows. Without the either, the key can never be achieved.
“Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha Har Sapna Jab Woh Toota
Bhikre Tukdon Mein Allah Ki Marzi Ka Manzar Paayega”
“Though it has scattered your dreams to pieces....
In that pieces you will find a hidden treasure gifted by your loving lord"
Your Lord has a plan for you. You should never be sad or unhappy. Everything that is happening to your life has a reason,has a purpose, planned by Allah, to lead you to your life’s destiny. Every moment you live by are meaningful, precious. Even if you stumble at times do not be sad, Allah will help you. He is Oft-Forgiving, Benevolent. He will forgive you, shower his blessings on you and you will get another chance, another day.
With a mind in transcendental bliss and a heart full of joy, walk on my friend.....
May God bless you.
