The reflection of the hero's image in the mirror of destiny
The greatest thing hidden behind trials is the reflection of the hero's image in the mirror of destiny.
Trials make you a true hero, and once your courage is revealed, there's no longer meaning to defeat or victory. Because the heroes who emerge from the womb of trials are never defeated by their armies; because they come out of the womb of misery... from the darkness of despair.
Some trials intend for you to see your heroism in the arenas of trials.
Some trials intend to honor you rather than test you!
Honoring your effort means that the plot thickens, hardships reach their peak, then you triumph by the power of God, and your heroism at that moment becomes an honor for you. Just by standing there, while you turn your gaze to the sky asking God how you prevailed! As expressions of amazement appear on your face, and signs of miracles rise above your capabilities... you find the answer: You prevailed because I wanted to show everyone the hero I concealed within you.
That moment when you step out of the realm of reason into the realm of miracles... it's a recognition of your worth, not a trial. Your value in the eyes of God was written since your birth; you never surrendered, never wasted, never humiliated yourself.
So, let there be ups and downs in the fields of pain; because you're undoubtedly victorious... your flag is raised without dispute... why do you see?
Because you've overcome trials with your patient and assured efforts, thus you've become a hero whose city will never be conquered, no matter how besieged!
The walls of your city are "There is no god but Allah", its gate is "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah", its key is "There is no power or strength except with Allah", and its army is "Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs", and its hero is you... You are made by His hands... victorious by His care...
So let them scream with their worldly idols as the mouths of the pagans before them screamed: "Raise Hubal", while you stand calmly declaring your Lord saying: “Allah is the Greatest and the Most Supreme... My arrow has been fired... From Him comes the support... I care not for anyone... By the virtue of Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. With its virtue, O Lord, do not entrust us to anyone... O the One we lean upon... The One we rely upon... High above all, the Independent One... He has no partner in His sovereignty, and His provision is facilitated, flowing endlessly.”
