Yusuf''s post: "Allah's Will (be done). There is no power but with Allah."

Assalamu alaikum brothers,
I hope everyone is doing well. For those brothers in medical school Ican tell you that it gets much better after second year so hang inthere, Insha Allah. The recent news and pictures of the tornadoesreminded me of the following passage from the Quran. Sometimes it'shard to remember how fragile our everyday comforts really are.
Al-KahfSet forth to them the parable of two men: for one of them We providedtwo gardens of grapevines and surrounded them with date-palms: inbetween the two We placed corn-fields. (32) Each of those gardensbrought forth its produce, and failed not in the least therein: in themidst of them We caused a river to flow. (33) (Abundant) was theproduce this man had: he said to his companion, in the course of amutual argument: "More wealth have I than you, and more honour andpower in (my following of) men." (34) He went into his garden in astate (of mind) unjust to his soul: He said "I deem not that this willever perish. (35) "Nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgment) will(ever) come: even if I am brought back to my Lord I shall surely find(there) something better in exchange." (36) His companion said to him,in the course of the argument with him: "Dost thou deny Him Whocreated thee out of dust then out of a sperm-drop, then fashioned theeinto a man? (37) "But (I think) for my part that he is Allah, my Lord,and none shall I associate with my Lord. (38) "Why didst thou not, asthou wentest into thy garden, say: `Allah's Will (be done)! There isno power but with Allah!' If thou dost see me less than thee in wealthand sons (39) "It may be that my Lord will give me something betterthan thy garden, and that He will send on thy garden thunderbolts (byway of reckoning) from heaven, making it (but) slippery sand!― (40)"Or the water of the garden will run off underground so that thou wiltnever be able to find it." (41) So his fruits (and enjoyment) wereencompassed (with ruin), and he remained twisting and turning hishands over what he had spent on his property, which had (now) tumbledto pieces to its very foundations, and he could only say "Woe is me!would I had never ascribed partners to my Lord and Cherisher!" (42)Nor had he numbers to help him against Allah, nor was he able todeliver himself. (43) There, the (only) protection comes from Allah,the True One. He is the Best to reward and the Best to give success.(44)
