Here's what I learned:

There is a healthy and unhealthy way of "surrendering" الإستسلام

Are you surrendering as in "I don't care anymore!/ I give up!", or is it "I surrender to The Creator all my issues and trust his way and still willing to do my part"?


I feel like true surrendering was one of the biggest lessons I had to learn over and over again in my life. With every stage of life a new way of trusting him. And maybe that will always be a lesson you and I will have to continue learning and cleaning our hearts with.

Another thing in life I learned is that sometimes in life, God tests us with two kinds of tests:

1- to see if we will go against the odds and make something happen/change.

2- To see if we will accept his decree? (Our job is to do the effort and the results are on God). Getting sick, lost of someone, or in situations where we did everything we were supposed to do we got a divorce, lost a job, ask for forgiveness but others couldn't forgive us or we didn't marry the person we wanted, etc. whatever it is.. that He closed the door.

⇢ Our job in life is to find out what situation is which?


استخارة
Is basically asking God which path to take.. asking him to open and close the right doors and make our hearts in peace with it.


Questions for self-reflection:
• Are you accepting God's decree?
• What do you need to accept right now?
