Being locked down is a positive opportunity to correct our lives.
Attitude of a Believer while on lockdown:
– Performs what is beneficial, both in this world and the next.
– Seeks the Help of Allah, no matter how difficult the situation is.
– Stays stronger: mentally and physically.
– Consistently evaluated his life: his relationship with Allah, family and others.
Sahih Muslim –
The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah that the weak believer, and in both there is goodness.
Strive for that will benefit you, seek assistance from Allah and do not give up.
If something were to afflict you, do not say, “IF only I had done this, such and such would have occurred”, but say, “This is the decree of Allah and whatever He will He does, since “if only” unlocks the work of Shaytan.
