Mom: No!
Wife: Can you take me to [place] for Eid?
Husband: No!
Sister: Lets go for a bike ride.
Brother: No!
Sister: Wanna come over to my house on Saturday?
Sister: No!
Daughter: [after she cleans the kitchen]
Mom: you never do anything for me. You are useless. You should be happy you get free food.
We all hear a “No!” at least once every day. It sucks to be you when you are rejected, whether it’s a job application, ideas for new furniture, party, business – rejection is unfathomably punishing.
People are half broken – they cannot give us the things they do not have. Provision, satisfaction, happiness, solace, appreciation - is not up to people to give. People are not Vast, All Embracing. They are not just or considerate. Only Allah is Al-Laṭīf, Al-Haleem, Al-Muqīt, Al-Wāsiʿ, Ar-Razzāq, Al Wahab.
I am not going to ask people anymore, if they have any mercy or any good– it is because Allah put it inside their hearts. Otherwise, every human being is an empty dirt vessel. Every human being is shallow, meager and in need.
Allah: Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him? (Bukhari and Muslim)
Allah: Invoke Me I will respond to you (Ghaafir: 60).
