Reflection – 008

Allah only gives what there is, not what there is not. The good He gives us is the good there is, there is no alternative good, no substitute, there is no better or worse good, it is simply what He has given us. The happiness He gives us is the happiness that is, not the happiness there is not. We need to conform, to bend our souls to submission and accept the good He gives us, the happiness He gives us, the food He gives us, for regardless of what our eyes may tell us, regardless of what we wish and hope for, there isn’t any other to be had. More than what we are given is not ours, and taking less is charity from us to another, and then this in itself is a goodness from Allah and it too has no alternative, there is no other good but this. We need to be grateful, content and accept what He gives us or we will not only be miserable, but we will starve eternally, for along with all good, His is the only sustenance there is.
