A GIFT TO THE DISTRESSED


Everything in the world happens in accordance with a divine system. This system will see no change until the day of Judgement. Much of the secrets of this system are altogether hidden from man. Allah has outlined in the Noble Qur'an those aspects of His system which are imperative for man's success and salvation. His revered Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) has further illucidated and elaborated on the subject in more detail.
At times, due to his ignorance about this system of Allah, man finds it hard to fathom occurrences around him. This causes him to question the doings of Allah Ta'aala. When this happens, shaitaan seizes the opportunity to insinuate such thoughts into his mind that create severe confusion and perplexity, followed by frustration and despondency.
In this booklet, such Qur'anic verses and sayings of the Prophet have been collected that are relevant to people undergoing difficulty, in the form of financial straits, illness, death of a close relative or friend, and the like.
By contemplating over these verses and sayings, besides finding immense solace, such persons may also find answers to their questions and problems.
The last chapter contains supplications, which may be beneficial for those in distress.
