HELPLESSNESS

The feeling that make your agony in any distressful situation even more exaggerated. The feeling that sometimes suffocates you to such an extent that you feel yourself useless. Everyone of us has experienced this feeling more or less, at any stage, aspect or phase of life.That time we feel ourselves stuck in such a position where we can’t find any clue of how to get things in our favour.We want someone by our side who may console us to boost our motivation to cope up with that helplessness, keeping us ensured that ,”yes!there will be a solution to your problems, yes!I’m here, will make a way out”. Now Who will be that SOMEONE?

Everyone of us knows that this UNIVERSE and everything in it is in control of THAT ONE MASTER who has sent us HIS MESSAGE all the way across the universe to tell us that” HE is the ultimate HELP”. The message in form of the quran! How beautifully the message regulates our helplessness by telling us different scenarios of prophets in which they feel themselves helpless and how Their Gracious Lord sent His help. All this to make us realize that ‘WE are too NOT ALONE’ in this world of challenges”. As Quran says;

HE is the best of the helpers                 (Surah Aal-e-imraan: 150)

Whenever I feel helpless in any regard, I remember myself those cases in the past in which I felt the same ,But my Lord didn’t leave me alone. Thinking about all those ,boost my motivation multiple times that this time too,my Lord will make a way for me,not knowing how, but surely HE will.

Just like in phase of helplessness,when Hazrat Yaqoub A.S uttered:

I complain of my sufferings and grief to Allah only (Surah Yousuf 86)"

tell your helplessness to the Almighty. How beautiful it is that we ask for his help,even while knowing that HE sent us that challenge.

Just like in phase of helplessness,Hazrat Nuh A.S pleaded

So he cried out to his Lord, “I am helpless, so help me!”(Surah Al Qamar: 10)

Didn’t Allah help Harzat Nuh A.S ? Surely HE helped .

Surely HE helped. Just like in phase of helplessness,when Hazrat ayub A.S uttered in great helplessness. How beautifully Allah himself reminding us that

And ˹remember˺ when Ayub A.S cried out to his Lord,

“I have been touched with adversity, 1 and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.” Surah Ambiya :83)

Didn’t he help Hazrat Ayub A.S? Surely HE helped.How Allah quotes Hazrat Musa A.S when he said :

"My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!”.             (Surah Qasas :24)"

Just correlate that how beautiful it is that , Allah,from whom all the challenges are sent,the very same personality , Allah, the writer of Quran, reminding us that how his prophets pleaded in helplessness and how he showered upon them His help!Sometimes we question ourselves that ‘how is it possible to get a way out from this situation?’It’s seems very fascinating to me ,that when Hazrat zakriya A.S said to angels how it is possible to get a baby in such an old age…!Allah quotes that too in the Quran, the reply of angles that

Your Lord says: "It is easy for Me,"        (Surah Maryam: 9)

He is the one who can solve our problems,He having all tha control of universe,saying to you through Quran that your situation which makes you feel helpless,Your lord can make it easy for you,

It is so good that whenever he intends something, then it is said that it becomes possible (Surah Yaseen :82)

Imagine Such a Gracious and powerful lord ,asking you in quran;

Is Allah not sufficient for His servant? (Surah Zumr:36)

Then Why are you worried that you are alone ,no one can help you,why are you not thinking upon all these verses,ensuring His help to one who asks for his support in helplessness. How soothing is that Allah made the Quran. His message to convey to you that you are not alone.

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah then He is sufficient for him. (Surah At-Talaq, 65: 2-3")

Just the need is of that reconciliation with Almighty, establish that connection with him. In Dunia when someone having a reference of influential personality,in any distress he approaches to him for help.And you become rest assured that now the help us here. You have YOUR LORD,the KING of the kings, flee to him in any distress. Because

And sufficient is Allah as a FRIEND & sufficient is Allah as a HELPER..          (Surah An-Nisa: 45)
