I was reading something today to do with the blessings of Allah. It wasn’t so much a case of ‘hidden’ blessing, but of the blessings that are blatantly present that we have been blinded against.The example I read today was that concerning the love of different things Allah has placed into the hearts of the believer and non-believer. Hopefully, people will find something that they are passionate for in life, whether it be seeking islamic knowledge, art, writing, science, cooking, history e.t.c .
It went on further, saying it was this difference in passion that is one of the bases of human civilisation. And if you think about it , as I did, it is completely true. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of mathematics at school, but imagine life without the thrill that maths may bring to a lover of all things numerical. I’m not that fond of languages either,however, where would I get the ancient translated books that are so vital in my study of history. The examples can carry on forever, something you may not be so fond of will bring heaps of joy to someone else and this passion is vital. For, if there weren’t mathematicians in the world, engineering would be no more, actuarists would not be able to calculate insurance claims… you get the point. Things we take for granted are constantly of benefit to us, from the local milkman to the neurosurgeon that performs life-saving surgeries.
Basically, I underwent brain exercise today, I actually did some thinking which says a lot for my state of mind at this present moment in time. We ought to be truly thankful to Allah that we have desires and loves for a different variety of things because if we didn’t, life would be very two dimensional and dull. I hope that made sense because I want others to understand this very beautiful yet important blessing. On that note, I have not figured out what I have a passion for, *hmmm*.
