Allah's Plans

Some things are beyond planning.
And life doesn't always turn out as planned.

You don't plan for a broken heart.
You don't plan for an autistic child.
You don't plan for spinsterhood.
You don't plan for a lump in your breast.

You plan to be young forever.
You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and powerful.
You plan to be acclaimed and successful.
You plan to conquer the universe.
You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.

You don't plan to be sad.
You don't plan to be hurt.
You don't plan to be broke.
You don't plan to be betrayed.
You don't plan to be alone in this world.
You don't plan to be shattered.

You plan to be happy,

Sometimes,
Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes,
He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes,
He allows pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes,
Allah sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes,
He allows illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
And sometimes,
Allah takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He gave us .

Its difficult to understand Allah's planning, but afraid not. Make plans and put faith in Allah's grace.

-A poem shared by a friend of mine. Often we make a mistake by worrying for tomorrow, yet neglecting today. I mean, yah. Have faith dude.
