Saying: Consider Well-being as a Blessing
*Malfoozaat (Sayings) of Hakeem-ul-Ummat Mujaddid-ul-Millat Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah Alaih)*
*Consider Well-being as a Blessing*
He stated: Consider well-being (Aafiyat) and peace as a blessing and pray only for well-being and peace. Yes, if a calamity strikes on its own, then face it with patience and steadfastness, as this is the Sunnah (tradition). It was the noble habit of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) that he himself never desired any mishap or calamity; however, when it was a time of war (Harb), he would adopt the measures appropriate for it.
