In moments of calamity
There have been a few periods of my life when this particular ayah has comforted me so much. It is ‘simple’, but so profound:
“And be patient for the decision of your Lord, for indeed you are in Our eyes.” (52:48)
So many powerful lessons:
1. Allah has your situation covered. So just be patient. Everything has an appointed term. So does this hardship. It will not last forever. And Allah is in charge (the decision of Your Lord).
2. “Indeed you are in Our eyes.”: Even *during* the ‘appointed lifetime’ of the hardship, you are in His eyes. He is taking care of you *during* it. What a comfort!
3. “Fa” in the middle implies cause and effect. Not only should you have patience because: 1. Allah’s command is controlling the situation (and when it will come to an end/change), but also *because* 2. You are in ‘His eyes’: He is your Guardian even throughout the hardship’s ‘lifetime’.
Summary: It is through the knowledge that God sees what we are going through and is in control that we are able to be patient
