Prayer Request: how to achieve my goals?

Request:

Assalamualaikum Maulana sahab, I don’t understand what to do, it seems that my life has become miserable, I have always got things easily, but whenever I want somethings I don’t get it. Its not that I am impatient, but it really hurts, whenever am close at achieving it, some how it goes out of hand. I just had few aims in my life n I couldnt achieve even one. Why is all this happening? I dont even think bad of other nor m I jealous. I also perform 5 times namaz daily.
Allah Hafiz

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Troubles come to people for several reasons, as explained by our mashaykh:

1) to give rewards to the one who is patient in the face of them, for no one suffered more than the prophets and messengers of Allah swt, may His peace and blessings be upon them all.

2) to “whip” the sufferer to get back on the correct path, and this person is lucky because he or she is being guided from wrongdoing to right-doing.

3) to wake the sufferer to realize that there is more to this life than pursuit of the world, realization of the importance of the afterlife, and to bring him to humility before Allah swt.

and Allah knows best,

Taher Siddiqui
