You know, when you think of it, Allah has our life planned so well. There are many twists and turns, and sometimes one finds it very amusing, shocking and even sad. Like how Nabi Musa as was the adopted child of Pharoah. To think that Pharoah killed all the babies for fear they will overthrow his reign, and the very one baby he did not kill, was the very one who was staying in his castle with him. And how one of Rasulullah s.a.w.'s most ardent supporter, his uncle, Abu Talib, had died a disbeliever. Like how sometimes one sees this world, where religious parents have rebellious children, and non pious ones have religious children instead. Allah has certainly have this life well planned, for those who take heed.
And they planned and Allah (also) planned, and Allah is the best of planners.(Surah Ali Imran, Ayat 54)
Allah has planned well. How he introduces His servant to humility. How he guides them to righteousness from astray. But there is an ultimate charateristic in Allah's plan. Patience. For we do not know His plan. And we can only identify it after we have reflected all that we have gone through. After there has been outcome, be it success or failure. After we finally are able to listen to Him.
But sometimes we just don't listen. We fail to identify His signs.
"...Verily, My Plan is strong. " (Al Qalam, Ayat 45)
