Allah Knows Best


Allah knows what's best for us

So why should we complain?

We always want the sunshine

But He knows there must be rain



We always want the laughter

And the merriment of cheer

But our hearts lose their tenderness

If we never shed a tear



Allah tests us often

With suffering and with sorrow

He tests us not to punish us

But to help us meet tomorrow



For growing trees are strengthened

If they withstand the storm

And the sharp cut of the chisel

Gave the marble grace and form



Allah tests us often

And for every bit of pain

Provided we are patient

Is followed by rich gain



So whenever we are down

And everything is going wrong

It is just Allah's way

To make our spirit strong
