Life is not a Bed of Roses

I asked for strength,
And He gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom,
And He gave me problems to solve.

I asked for courage,
And He gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for love,
And He gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favours,
And He gave me opportunities.

Maybe I received nothing I wanted,
But I received everything that I needed.

"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope.  He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned."

"Allah tidak memberati seseorang melainkan apa yang terdaya olehnya.  Ia mendapat pahala kebaikan yang diusahakannya, dan ia juga menanggung dosa kejahatan yang diusahakannya."

- Al-Baqarah:286

"Verily, along with every hardship is relief.  Verily, along with every hardship is relief"

"Oleh itu, bahawa sesungguhnya setiap kesukaran disertai kemudahan.  Bahawa sesungguhnya setiap kesukaran disertai kemudahan."

- Al-Insyirah:5-6
