I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

A person does not have an understanding of Islam until they think of a hardship as being a blessing, and comfort and luxury as being a tribulation.

Allah will make a way when there seems to be no way. Allah will replace my sadness with something beautiful. Allah knows our situation, our weaknesses, and our needs. To Allah we must turn, to Allah we must complain, and from Allah we must seek help. Sometimes I pray with tears when the words are missing, and Allah knows my heart. [b]When I begun to pray late at night, I started to find a big difference in my life.[/b]

Comfort and luxury are a tribulation because they can take us away from Allah. Hardships are a blessing because they bring us closer to Allah.

Sh. Hamza Yusuf has an excellent lecture, being an explanation of a classic treatise on this matter. Well worth listening to on youtube. Would probably need several repeat listenings over a number of months or years to comprehend in greater depth, as one's experience improves.
