Finding solace

It has been very stressful period of my life... yes we have ended the business, but the debt is still there, and the landlord has start pushing, and i start trembling....

I stay calm despite hard to do so.... Sometime it felt like a lonely battle.... I am totally broke, I have wife and children to feed.... and I need cash to roll for day to day job and living...plus other hardship i wish not to elaborate further...... It is hard... and I know for sure , my salary by the end of this month, is equal to negative thousands as i need to pay whatever i need to pay....

it is tough.... and I find solace by reading Surah Al Insyirah

Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))?
And removed from you your burden,
Which weighed down your back?
And raised high your fame?
So verily, with the hardship, there is relief,
Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allahs worship (i.e. stand up for prayer).
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations.

The purpose of this surah originally was to console and encourage RasulAllah S.A.W during his early hardship in spreading dakwa'. You can read it through by clicking this link and I find peace in reading it. It remind me that Allah promised us that in every hardship, there is relief..... Amin
