As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It’s your Sunnah Infographics Family here.
Hope you're well and in good health.
Do you ever wonder..
Why me?
When you face hardships..
Or even blessings.
If so..
Not to worry.
It's an extremely normal part of self-reflection.
The tricky part is identifying why we go through what we do.
The hard part is making the changes..
And the easy part is to rely upon our Lord completely.
If we only understood.
So where do we start?
Let's start by knocking the first domino of life...
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Nisa (The Women) (4:123-124)
لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَآ أَمَانِىِّ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوٓءًا يُجْزَ بِهِۦ وَلَا يَجِدْ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا
Paradise is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides Allah a protector or a helper.
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا
And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.
1 Hadith
Abu Bakrah reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, who are the best people?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “One whose life is long and his deeds are good.” The man said, “Who are the worst people?” The Prophet said, “One whose life is long and his deeds are evil.”

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Tirmidhi
عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ قَالَ فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ قَالَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ

Reflection Point
Life is like a row of dominoes…
Lined up and ready for the first touch..
So when you tap the first domino..
The entire row of dominoes fall one after the other.
In an organised and orderly fashion!
The same goes for our deeds...
If you tap the first domino of good deeds.
Your deeds will multiply far beyond what you see.
And if you tap the first domino of bad deeds.
Your bad deeds will multiply far beyond what you see.
But what we don’t realize..
Is that it eventually comes back round to bite us or hug us!
Whether it be from the fruits of good.
Or whether it be from the fruits of evil.
How it touches us..
Is in the hands of Allah, The Most High.
The Giver (The one who gives) المُعْطِي
The Preventer (The One who prevents) المانِع
But just know that it will reach you eventually.
So always think before you act.
And be aware of the potential consequences of your actions.
For example..
Today!
Anything unusual happen to you?
Because even the slightest prick of a thorn.
Or an awful neighbour...
Or a slight injury..
Is an expiation for the believer.
So learn the lessons of life...
In order to secure a good life for you and your family.
And be aware of the consequences of a sins.
And despair not of the mercy of Allah.
Because it is a purification in this life.
And an ease in the hearafter Insha Allah.
