"Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and (sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those with you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to do it, so He has turned to you (mercifully), therefore read what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there must be among you sick, and others who travel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, and others who fight in Allah's way, therefore read as much of it as is easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and offer to Allah a godly gift, and whatever of good you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find it with Allah; that is best and greatest in reward; and ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." - Al-Muzzammil (73:20)
Reading this verse has truly made it clear that Allah is speaking to me, to us. His slaves. This verse shows how merciful Allah s.w.t. is towards His slaves, and how He is guiding us in every way possible so that in the end, we'll be placed in Jannah. Subhanallah.
But we often take His mercy and blessing for granted. We do things that has been prohibited and turn a blind eye from Allah's guidance.
I remembered being so sick and having to swallow pills of different kinds in a day, and how awful I felt at that moment. It was so hard for me to get up and pray, I just wanna sleep! Truly this sickness teaches me to be grateful for having a good health. This body that Allah has entrusted us with, is nothing more than a vessel for us to worship Him, Ar- Raheem. As a reminder to myself first and foremost, do not give up in the act of worshiping Allah. To err is human, but the best of those who err are those who repent.
