ALLAH Sends His Reminder

As usual .... ALLAH sends His reminder
i) I asked for something I shouldn't have & ALLAH swt did not grant it thus far.
Yesterday something happened & somehow I realised that change does not mean I have to "go"
I'm saying a different prayer now BUT I'm still asking for a change in my life.
ii) I said all I need is ALLAH swt
Then ALLAH swt permitted someone to send me an email. In it was an advice :-
In the centre of every relationship is ALLAH swt
Meaning???
ALLAH swt is the centre to all our life's treasures. Thus it is wrong for me to say that all I need is ALLAH because to get to the centre I need my life's treasures which are my family & friends.
And it is ALLAH swt who determines what kind of relationship I have with them.
Put it this way ... why do we trust one friend and share with him our life's secret & yet, remain distant to another??. Because it is ALLAH who ordained who becomes our true fren, who becomes our close frens, who becomes "just" frens
and who are so not our frens.
Similarly ALLAH had ordained who we marry ... & if the marriage last or not
The important thing is whatever we do in our relationships we must adhere to what
ALLAH has commanded us through The Qur'an and through His messenger.
When we fail to do that, it means we have failed to put ALLAH in His place.
Hence ... leading to our unhappiness.
Problem is, it takes two to tango
When its a one person's "show", it's going to take a lot of sacrifice to keep the relationship going.
Break ups occur when ALLAH permitts that sacrifices can no longer work.
Me ?? I keep reminding myself that The Prophet said "keep the ties of kinship (silratulrahim)" in one of his hadith reported by Bukhari & Muslim so I try to maintain the kinship with family & frens as best I could.
When ALLAH permitts that it can no longer be .... so be it.
iii) Everytime I thought things are going to be alright. Something happened and I'm back to square one. Why is that ???
The way I see it, when ALLAH permitts that love ends, it ends no matter what & no matter how hard I try to rekindle what is lost, what's gone is gone.
I have tried to bring it back. I was moving one step forward, then things happened & I went two steps back. So thats it !!! I'm going to stop trying.
iv) I am just an actor acting out a drama written by ALLAH
When the time comes and my drama ends ... I'll take a bow & "go"

For now :-

I learned to let go of yesterday
to stop hoping for tomorrow
and live my life today
for yesterday had passed
tomorrow may never come
and today is all I have ............

Forgive me ALLAH
