BEING GRATEFUL EVEN IN AN ADVERSITY : A TIMELESS ADVICE FROM MOOSA(AS) When I saw the videos on what's happening in Palestine, in one of them an owner of a bookshop which was destroyed was interviewed. He did stay up late night, spent time away from his family working to build his dream of having his own bookshop. After having his dream being destroyed within a matter of seconds and being around its rubble and he describing his loss to the interviewer the very next thing he says is الحمد لله على كل حال(All Praise and thanks are only for allah in all circumstances), he was grateful eventhough being struck by an adversity. The guy is a Palestinian and a lot of Palestinians are ethnically the descendants of bani Israel. Moosa(AS) said this(to remember the favours of Allah and be grateful even in adversity)centuries ago to the bani Israel while it was just only them in the wilderness of the desert, centuries later Allah recorded it in his words and revealed it to the Prophet Muhammad(SAWS) and now centuries later from the ummah of Muhammad(SAWS) they live out these words of Moosa(AS) even though we aren't from the ummah of Moosa(AS). Subhanallah look how Allah has made the words of Moosa(AS) timeless through an ummah which is not of his own. Indeed we have been blessed as a nation more than the others. Alhamdullilah ala kulli haal(All Praises belongs to Allah, let whatever the circumstances be)

Subhan Allah, this is such an important reminder. The Palestinian people are at their lowest, yet they are thankful all the time, for everything. Jazakallahu Khairan for this beautiful reflection
