Wrong Focus in Life

ِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

Often what makes us fall into despair is focusing on the wrong things.

         For example,

◇ if we've sinned we focused on the sin, rather than The Most Merciful.

◇ if we're broken, we focus on the break instead of الجبَّار, The One who Mends.

◇ if we're in pain, we focus on the pain itself, instead of on the One who removes all the pain, الشَّافي.

◇  if we are wounded, we focus on the wound instead of on the One who Heals all the wounds.

◇ if we're scared, we focus on the fear, instead of the Protector.

◇ And if we're facing a problem, we see the problem, but not the One who can solve it.

We see the immediate, but not the Tomorrow, the tree, but not the fruit, the thorn, but not the roses.

All our pain, all our despair, all our hopelessness, stems from looking at the creation, instead of

The Creator
