Giving up is not an option

Assalamualaikum!

Have you ever felt so tired when you've done all that you can but things still don't work out the way you want them to? 

Have you ever felt so sad because you feel that you haven't done enough for something you really want?

I always come across to inspirational quotes like 

"Don't give up on something or someone that you couldn't go a full day without thinking about."

"When you love something, you mustn't let it go."

BUT, there's nothing in this world that happens without His will. Without Allah Azza Wajalla's permission. Everything that exists in this world is because of His grace and command. When you want something, pray to Him. Ask Him to give it to you by a good manner. For a good will. As long as you ask something good from Him, the angels will listen to your invocations and send them to Him. 

When you've tried your best and do everything that you can, but you still don't get the things that you want, fret not. Just remember that Allah answers your prayers by 3 ways; 1. A definite yes 2. Yes, but not now. and 3. I have better plans for you. So if Allah doesn't answer your prayers the way you want Him to, it's because He's preparing you for the better. La tahzan, inallaha ma'ana. 

When you feel like giving up on life, on Him, stop for a while and think who help you to get back up when you were down? Who help you to cheer up when you were sad? and who give you everything when you had nothing? --- it's Allah. So it's not fair for you to give up on Him just because you don't get what you want now. Be patient, because Allah is surely with the patient ones. It has been stated in the Holy Quran that you can ask anything from Him. Anything at all. Because Allah's help is near. We just don't get to see it. 

Redha is when you surrender yourself and all your life to Allah. You know that only Allah can help, can protect and can heal you. So lean on Him. Be dependent on Him. Allah loves those who turn to Him and beg to Him. Leave all your worries and sorrows behind, because you will never be in despair when you're with Him. He will always give you the peace and calmness that your souls need.

Again, when you feel like giving up, think again. Stop trying so hard that you feel like dying and you feel like there's nothing left in you. Turn to Him, He will heal you. He will fill you with love and blessings that you yearn all these times. You hearts need their owner. And He is, the owner of every beating heart. 

Walahu'alam..
