"They plan and God plans and God is the best of planners" Quran 8:30
Hassan's reflection
God has a plan, a beautiful plan for us and the whole world. Sometimes the world seems to be against us. There are pressures from work, from family, from everything around us, wanting us to do things we shouldn’t do or take time from things that are truly important. No matter what others plan for us, God also has a plan for us, and God is the best at planning.
Suriya's reflection
More than this , bad people make their evil plots, only to be confounded by Allah. Their best laid plans come to naught and injustice is replaced with justice. We human beings sometimes fail to see this happening and think that Allah does not change evil for good but if we look into human history over hundreds of year we will realise that things do change for the better and not all of it is human effort although the trial for us as people of faith and people who want justice is we have to constantly face the trials and tribulations at the hands of oppressors. This verse gives hope and optimism to us but we have to understand that effort has to come from ourselves along with a great deal of prayer and tawakkal . Only then will the 'extra push' needed come to us from Allah in the form of unexpected events changing the situation and bringing a good outcome on the side of Truth and Justice.
