In reply to the discussion: Why Me? Finding the Bright Side of a Dark Situation [View all]trotsky
(49,533 posts)5. This writer speaks for no one but themselves.
So this:
No matter what you are going through, inshaAllah (God-willing), you will come out stronger than before. You can make it through this trial. And perhaps Allah has given this hardship to you out of love, so you will call out to Him and gain closeness to Him.
...is not appreciated.
*I* do not find this idea comforting or helpful. The idea that a kind, loving entity would *intentionally* cause you pain and struggle solely to get closer to it, is repulsive to me.
If you meant to only post this for people who agree, perhaps it should have gone to the Interfaith group, or the Muslim group. But here, there are many people with different views and this religious opinion is not true for them.
Now go ahead and chide everyone who didn't fawn over this post, make references to your inane "11th Commandment" bullshit, do whatever it is you feel you need to do in order to show us how tolerant and wonderful religion is.
