Contentment: A Paradise On Earth

In Our ignorance or haste, we mistake evil for good, and we desire what we should not have. The wise and instructed soul has patience and does not put its own desires above the wisdom of Allah. He receives with contentment the favours of Allah, and prays to be rightly guided in his desires and petitions
If we were to cry when it is night, we shall look foolish when it is day; for the night is but a preparation for the day: thus, we pray for the day when we want rest for the night. Both are signs from Allah. Darkness and light stand for ignorance and knowledge. "Where ignorance is bliss, 'it’s folly to be wise". Darkness and light may also stand for shadow and sunshine, sorrow and joy: but both are necessary for our development.
Let us be patient and seek everything as from Allah-in joy and in sorrow, in knowledge and in want of knowledge of those things which are beyond our reach. Let us rejoice in what Allah has given us, and not be impatient about those things which He in His wisdom has thought fit to withhold from us
