Between Joy and Sorrow — A Reminder of Allah’s Will | Shaykh Sulayman Muhammad al-Awwal Amubieya

A moving reminder from Fadeelatush-Shaykh Sulayman Muhammad al-Awwal Amubieya (حفظه الله) — a reflection born out of both joy and grief. Just days apart, Allāh blessed the Shaykh with a newborn daughter and then tested him with the loss of a beloved sister. In this touching moment, he recited a poem that reminded everyone present that everything happens by the decree of Allāh, and every trial carries wisdom, purification, and purpose. 📖 Themes in this Reflection • Faith in Al-Qadar (Divine Decree) • Patience and gratitude in times of trial • The believer’s balance between joy and sorrow • Lessons from the Prophet ﷺ and the early righteous • Finding peace through submission to Allāh’s Will “No one is free from trials — young or old, rich or poor — yet every hardship carries the seeds of mercy and nearness to Allāh.” 🌙 May Allāh bless his newborn daughter, forgive his late sister, and strengthen the Shaykh and his family. Let this be a reminder that after hardship comes ease, and after every night comes a dawn.
