I’ve been suffering from toothache all day. The pain keeps getting worse and worse. It became so bad to the point I couldn’t sleep at night. I kept waking up, hoping the pain would go away soon. I did a salt water rinse, I looked up 24h dental clinics, I took a paracetamol. I immediately booked an appointment for 8am at a clinic near me.
Now I think the paracetamol must’ve helped to reduce the pain significantly. I ditched my efforts to look for a dental clinic, I didn’t feel the need to do a salt water rinse. Heck I even decided to delay my visit to the dentist. Despite desperately needing help 30 min ago, feeling even a slight amount of relief made me forgo all my efforts to solve the problem.
Maybe it’s because it’s the month of Ramadhan. But I immediately linked it back to my relationship with Allah. So many times, when I’m drowning in problems and troubles and “pain”, I seek Allah’s guidance, I don’t delay my prayers, Allah is on my mind constantly. But with Allah’s grace, when that “pain” is gone, I start delaying my prayers, saying “what’s the difference between praying at 9pm or 3am? I’m still doing my isha before fajr”
It just goes to show how much we forgetful we are as humans. May Allah show mercy to us all.
