Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem

I have been so overwhelmed lately that even though I wanted to blog, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Yes i had work but that wasn't what overwhelmed me; rather the realization that my slightest good intention or wish hasn't gone unanswered. Such is the mercy of my Rabb! I believe I don't even put enough effort and somehow things just start working out beyond my expectations. I am so at a loss for words that all I can say is .... Alhamdolillah! I make dua that Allah teach me how to be grateful to Him so as to please Him. Ameen. My shoulders feel so heavy with the weight of this realization - its probably been there all my life I just never bothered to think about it. I'm burdened with His mercy and very afraid  - what if I get my share in the dunya!?! Ya Raheem! Please raise the ranks of my deeds so I may be able to receive in the Akhirah.
One thing is for sure - with this realization, I will strive harder to please Allah and use the opportunities presented to me in the best way I know how. Ya Rabb! Help me. Ameen. The point of this post is 1) to acknowledge Allah's blessing 2) to make myself and you think off all the things that have 'just' worked out for the better. I guarantee you will find yourself being unable to count them. This is just one quality of our Rabb. He is Ar-Rahman - the one who gives without us even asking or trying hard enough.
