Our Relationship with Allah
Not a day goes by
When we do not face new situations
When our mettle is not tested
When our understanding is not questioned
When our relations are not sabotaged
When our peace is not threatened
When our feelings are not challenged
Most of us still survive
With honor and integrity, and with peace and serenity
Some of us do not
How do those who survive do it?
The answer is “Internal Strength”
You may call it “ego” as well
Ego is our internal set of values that determines our outward behavior
It is an expression of our social, cultural and religious learning over time
Ego is very strong, but it has its limits
Many times, we need additional strength
Our relationship with Allah gives it to us
The depth of our relation determines the strength of support
Building Our Relationship with Allah
