In the last day we know that prior to birth we were with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in a place that he wanted us in a form that he wanted us.

Thereafter he blew the souls into the bodies through his divine wisdom and power in a way that he wanted and he caused our birth on earth for a reason and he explains that reason to us.

I have not created mankind or jink kind except that they were shipping. I will get to the explanation of that but let's listen to another verse of the Qur'an.

We will indeed definitely test every one of you with a little bit of hunger, a little bit of fear and so on.

The verse continues in Suratul Bakhara. Let's listen to another verse in Suratul An-Kaboot.

We have indeed tested those before you as well in order for us to distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars.

Just before that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

Does man think that it is okay or enough for him? It is sufficient for him to say that I am a believer and then not be tested by us? That's what Allah says.

Which means Allah is going to test you. Every day is an opportunity for you to prove to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that while you are waiting for the day you are going to return to Allah you are going to be the best possible person in your short stay on earth.

Remember that. Always remember this earth is temporary which means anything that happens on earth is also temporary.

The only thing that carries with you your deeds, the way you did what you did for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, good deeds will come with you.

They will be multiplied. Bad deeds could be forgiven by Allah if you seek the forgiveness or they will also be carried with you and regret it.

So let's do as much good as we can on earth, my brothers and sisters. Many people are losing faith simply because of hardships they are going through.

They see no way out besides at times considering suicide and even fulfilling that may Allah protect us.

Remember one thing. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has prohibited suicide. He clearly says in the Quran.

Wa La Ta'ala Tulu Ifus'ankum Ibn Allah Hakan Abikum Rahimah and don't ever kill yourselves. Indeed Allah is the most merciful upon you.

Look at how Allah connects the mercy of Allah. When it comes to the issue of suicide and the discussion of suicide we all need to know Allah's mercy overtakes any problem or issue that we have.

At times we have major problems. We think that there is no way out. We've lost a job. We don't know where our income is going to come from.

Reliance on Allah. Trust Allah. It's a matter of time. After darkness the light will definitely come. You need to continue. You need to thank the Almighty for the little that you have.

In fact you have a lot. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says.

And Surat Ibrahim Allah says if you were to try and count the favors of Allah upon you you won't be able to count them all. Indeed man is oppressive and very ungrateful.
