Why are they in my life?

11:58 AM

Why are they in my life?
Understand this important rule:
Allah swt places individuals along your way in life to test you through them; do you know the reason for their presence in your life (your improvement; to rectify what is inside you!)
Indeed you deal with a person who is angry; so you learn patience; or a person who is arrogant so you learn wisdom; you can guage other annoying characteristics the same way.
However have certainty that Allah subhana wa taala is curing you through these people and the unpleasant situations that they create.
It is incumbant upon you that you understand and look at each person who enters your life as if it was Khidr in the life of Musa alaihi salam.
And say to yourself:
What can I learn from the presence of this person in my life? 
What is the message being sent to me through this individual in my life?
At times the opposite happens....
You meet people who are exquisite and good and kind; so you respect them and they respect you, and after your joy interacting with them, the page turns, and disturbing events happen, the situation changes!
What is the reason behind this?!
What is the wisdom behind this you wonder?!
It is simply so that you remember that these people are for 'your treatment'.
If all the people were nice; how would you learn patience and wisdom and mercy and forgiveness and practising hikmah in mutual dealings?
Had you seen offensive behaviour from them from the start, you would have kept away from them; and rejected their company.
For example if you are with a person who is easily excitable, volatile, then it would make you careful about your speech...you would choose your words before voicing them, this is good and with this he granted you a virtue you did not have.
Our hearts are usually constricted; only people with certain limited qualities can enter our hearts.
And Allah swt is vast in His knowledge, He wants to expand our hearts for people (some through others), so be a source of love for all people and accept them.
Have certainty that every person is different from you; as far as you are concerned they are ((medicine required for treatment of your character and beautifying your nature.))
Allah swt was capable of surrounding you with people who 
were totally like you; but this would not have the least benefit for you!
Strive with your self against condemnation;
Strive with you self against judging people;
Strive with your self against mistrust;
Strive with your self against jealousy;
And with every person different from you, you must evaluate your anger.
Be honest with your own self, ask yourself the real reason for your anger (from this situation, from this person)?
Do not create scenarios with Shaitan,
do not break up love, 
do not be the reason for causing others the slightest pain; be it through bad speech, or offense or cruel acts and verdicts.
Always (put your mind in charge)
(Towards Him assends pure speech)
From recitation and tasbeeh and praising Him and acclaiming His Greatness, all this is raised towards Allah and is presented before Him and He praises the one who pronounces it amongst the angels.
