The Blessed and Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘On the Day of Resurrection people will wish that their skins had been cut with scissors in this world, when they see the reward of those who were struck with calamity.’ (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, Hadees 2410)

Wisdom behind prosperity of disobedient people

Sometimes, a Muslim falls prey to satanic whispering while observing his own poor state and the life of luxury & merriment of infidels that creates various questions in his mind however there lies a hidden & significant Divine wisdom behind it.

Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا said, ‘A Prophet (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) humbly said in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ: ‘O My Rab (عَزَّوَجَلَّ)! A true believer obeys You and refrains from Your disobedience (but) You put him in trials & tribulations by narrowing this world upon him whereas an infidel does not obey You rather dares upon his disobedience but You keep him away from trouble and make this world spacious for him, (after all what is a wisdom behind it?)’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ sent revelation to him: ‘They are my bondsmen and trouble is also under My Power & Authority and all glorify Me with my Hamd (praise to the Divine), when believer has sins with him, I put him in trials and troubles and keep the world away from him, thus, this trial and trouble become the atonement for his sins even he will meet Me and I will bless him with the return of his virtues and the infidels who carries out some virtues (pertaining to the world), I flourish his sustenance and keep the troubles away from him, in this way, I give him the return of his virtues in this world even when he would meet Me, I would punish him for his sins.’

Anyhow, being a Muslim, we should understand with a deep pondering over Divine action to be containing of Divine wisdom and should hoard loads of reward showing the great deal of patience and fortitude. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ save from showing ingratitude and impatience and make us habitual of showing patience and gratitude.
