Murphy’s Law
Assalamu Alaykum
Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: “Truly! To Allah 
we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.” [Al-Baqarah 2:156]
I remember a while back i was reading a book and i stumbled across what is known as “Murphys Law”. This law states: Whatever can go wrong…WILL go wrong. It struck me as odd….what a negative way to look at life? Hardly anything goes wrong in life! Or maybe that is just me….a little too Happy Go Lucky….
I read this book around three, maybe even four, years ago…and this statement has not left my mind. How can one go through life constantly referring to this? Recently…it hit me. We go through trial after trial in life…..and for us….we can look up….we can move on because we KNOW…”Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Rajioun”…but others…they have nothing to console them…nothing to reassure them…nothing to look forward to.
There are soo many possible things that can go wrong in life, and i see them happening all around me. Cancer, Heart Disease, Infertility, having a child with a disability, Losing a loved one..and the list goes on! SubhanAllah, us as muslims when such things happen…we can take a moment and say “Inna lillahi wa Inna ilayhi rajioun” and move on with our lives…knowing that it truly means nothing.
So basically, This is my favorite verse….{Baqarah:156} I thank Allah for such a beautiful phrase that can help keep us sane…keep us hopeful…keep us from following “rules” such as Murphy’s Law.
wa Alhamdulilah Rabb Al Alameen.
