A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress.
It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it
could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair
of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body
and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected
that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support
the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of
its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was
able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand
was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to
get through the tiny opening were Allah's way of forcing fluid from the body of
the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it
achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles
are exactly what we need in our lives. If Allah allowed us to go through our
lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.
We would not be as strong as what
we could have been. We could never "fly"!
I asked for Strength.........
And Allah gave me Difficulties to
make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom.........
And Allah gave me Problems to
solve.
I asked for Prosperity.........
And Allah gave me Brain and Brawn
to work.
I asked for Courage.........
And Allah gave me Danger to
overcome.
I asked for Love.........
And Allah gave me Troubled people
to help.
I asked for Favours.........
And Allah gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted
........
I received everything I needed!
with lots of love
