Moving on has to be the most defining aspect in your life whether you are moving on from a person, passion, or profession. Whoever you are, you will have to move on and seek other avenues- the best and the worst thing about life is that it isn't static, it varies.
When Hazrat Haleema travelled from her drought-stricken land towards Mecca, her mule couldn't keep up with the rest of the caravan.
She was in extreme poverty and desperately in need of a family that needed their child to be fostered. But nothing was going right. The mule that she was riding was too weak to reach Makkah before everyone else.
So, as it happened, she was the last to arrive in Makkah. Every household had already sought their foster families, she couldn't get any. There was no child left in Makkah for her, her poverty would persist.
Until she came across Abdul Muttalib holding a baby that no one in the caravan wanted because that baby was an orphan and orphans usually didn't pay well.
But Haleema was in a state similar to Musa when Musa found his wife- Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min khairin faqir “My Lord, indeed I am, in need of whatever good You would send down to me"
It's the prayer of someone who has given up on the world and asked Allah to take charge.
Haleema didn't find any child, she got to nurse the best of creation- Our Prophet pbuh.
But she didn't know that. She accepted the fact that there was no worthy child that she could nurse, all rich had given away their children to other nurses. She accepted her fate and moved on only to have fortunes come her way.
Her mule rode back like wind, they rode in the shade of a cloud, her goats began to produce unlimited milk. If her conditions were good, her mule would have been strong and fast, they would have reached Makkah before everyone else and got a rich kid to nurse.
She wouldn't have got our Prophet!
Apparently, she got the son of a widow but what followed changed her destiny forever. Who would have known Haleema had her mule been fast that day?
But it wasn't the mule that was weak, it was divine Qadr at play.
Everything was happening in a systemic order, the poverty of her entire life was driving her towards the moment which would lead her to our Prophet.
Whatever you are going through, although it may be frustrating like that slow mule, is leading you to your destiny.
But the thing is that you have to accept your destiny. You have to accept the slow mule, you have to accept the poverty, and when you get the child of a widow- you have to accept him with open arms because he will change your destiny!
Sabr. InShaAllah Khair :)
