Allah Treat the servant according to his needs.

 Let’s consider the following Hadith: 

“Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (wickedness), and Al-Fajur leads to the Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, as a liar.” (Bukhari, Al-Adab, 69)

That means that wickedness and piousness are from the inspiration of the servants. And the servant is inspired to choose either truth or lying, chastity or indecency. 

It is stated in the Hadith: “The servant continues to lie and a black spot grows in his heart until all his heart becomes black. Then he is written, in Allah’s sight, among the liars.” (Muwatta, Kalam, 18)

It is this truth that is expressed in the verses with the expressions hardening of the heart, sealing the heart, rusting the heart and dead heart.

Those who committed various crimes and were imprisoned say things like “we are prisoners of fate”. Although these words express some consolation, they are not completely true. 

On the other hand, our Lord has declared that the people of Hell will confess the truth and will say the followings: 

“They will say, ‘If only we had really listened and used our intellect, we would not have been Companions of the Blaze.’” (Al-Mulk, 10)

Fate and Consent to the Status

 It is the art of forgetting complaints. It is the art of being content with Allah’s decree under changing conditions without being caught up in the tides of life. 

Contentment and being happy with one’s situation is very important in our present day because unfortunately in our time, egoism and worldliness always lead people to showing off. It inclines people towards wealth, fame and lust with selfish thoughts.

The person who tends to these issues doesn’t think that they may not be in his favor. Everyone wants to be rich, famous or attain high positions. However, he doesn’t consider being successful in the test of those blessings or bearing their heavy responsibility in the hereafter.

However, the goal of the believer is not to be rich or attain a high position, but to be a good servant in any situation that will bring Allah’s contentment.

How important is the following hadith qudsi for us to contemplate: “Only wealth makes some of my believing servants strong; if I make him poor that will spoil him. While poverty keeps some of my believing servants strong; If I give him wealth and plenty of sustenance that will spoil him.

Some of my believing servants want a degree in servitude. But I do not give him this request so that he doesn’t fall into self-conceit so that it doesn’t spoil him.

Only health keeps some of my believing servants strong; if I make him sick that will spoil him.

(The narrator says: I think that he also said:)

Only sickness keeps some of my believing servants strong, If I give them health that will spoil them.

I take care of my servants’ affairs with my knowledge of their hearts; I am the All-Knowing and All-Aware.” (Al-Bayhaqi, Names and Attributes, p. 122)

We should consider the fact that Allah Almighty takes care of the affairs of His servants according to their hearts, and that He manifests His judgment according to the state of piousness or complaint that is in the heart of His servants.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners

Community health practitioners face various challenges in fulfilling their roles effectively, including resource constraints and training needs.
