Turn “Need to” Into “Want to”
“Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5 WEB)
In life, many things happen to us, and how events affect us is how we view and attach meaning to them.
The apostle Paul had this revelation, and he taught the church to view suffering in a new light—to rejoice in suffering because it produces perseverance, proven character, and hope.
He knew how to reframe the undesirable things in life to become something that he wanted.
Suffering produces pain, but Paul reframed it to mean the training of his perseverance, character, and hope. Something bad became something precious and valuable.
We can apply this mindset to anything in life so that our trust is always in God and not in our self-efforts.
For example, if you see yourself putting on weight, your flesh may cause you to think, “I must go on a diet and exercise more so that I can lose weight.” This way of viewing the situation makes you reactive—on the defensive posture instead of wholeheartedly choosing to do something because you love it. When something is viewed as a burdensome chore, you will struggle with it.
Instead, why not detach your goal from the activity and just focus on the enjoyment of the beneficial action? You are not trying to exercise to lose weight—you are already young, healthy, slim, fit, and strong. Jesus paid for you to freely receive health and healing by faith.
When you exercise, there doesn’t have to be a goal. You can reframe your mindset and exercise just because you find it fun and enjoyable. “I like to run and feel my body challenging its limits. At the same time, I get time to enjoy the beautiful scenery that God has made, and listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to me.”
Wow, just like that, exercise without needing to gain anything from it becomes something desirable, just like the enjoyable activity of playing games for fun. Guess what, you will still reap the fitness benefits of exercise when you do it.
This method of refraining things is important because we don’t want to fall into the deception of getting things done by self-effort. Whatever is done by the flesh apart from God’s blessing has to be tiresomely maintained by the flesh.
If you’re struggling financially, and you’re always thinking, “I need to work so that I can earn money,” you’ll be perpetually stressed out, your performance at work will de-prove, and the self-reliance hinders God’s gracious provision and favor that must be received by faith.
No, you’re not working to earn money. You are a child of the wealthiest King of Heaven and earth—money is not something worth worrying about. You are always well-supplied and never lacking. God’s blessing makes you truly wealthy in all ways and He adds no sorrow nor trouble to it.
“Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.” (Proverbs 10:22 WEB)
Instead of feeling forced to work, work because you enjoy it, and because the people you deal with at work will benefit greatly from having Jesus as Lord. You would love to show them His glory through your words and deeds. When you think this way, you detach the goal of earning money from the action of working, and it just becomes an activity that you enjoy and look forward to—it becomes something very meaningful that you can be passionate about.
When you do your best at work to shine brightly for God, to showcase Christ in you, you will still be paid, and very likely, your job performance will improve. The state of mind will change from one that’s dragging your feet to work, to one that runs in, excited to embark on the next task for Jesus’ sake so that more may glorify our Father in Heaven.
Many times, God’s word says “repent”, and I agree that we can change our mind about all the ways we think negatively. Reacting by the flesh, we will always try to compensate for some lacking area by doing hard work, choosing man’s way instead of God’s way. To see a positive transformation, all it takes is a little reframing according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We don’t have to act like homeless orphans fending for themselves on the streets. We have a Father, and we are His beloved children. When your flesh tells you that you “need to” do something, reframe the whole thing by seeing it through Jesus’ finished work at the cross and what that sacrifice has accomplished for you. See how you can proactively “want to” do the task. Rest from fleshly self-efforts, and actively receive the supply of grace for every need!

THE MIRACLE OF TIME-QURANIC PERSPECTIVE
By: Abdullah Bukhari bin Abdul Rahim.
Translated by: Nur Fatimah Zahrah binti Rahimin Affandi.
Time is a miracle that Allah created. It does not have a body nor a face, but its existence itself is significant in our lives. When the clock is ticking, it is called "seconds". When the sun sets in the West, it will change to "days". When the earth completed its cycle by surrounding the sun for 365 days, it will change to "years". That is the beauty of "time". Nobody can run away from it. People that were young, now became old as time goes by. Humans also can mature and gain numerous experiences through time.
Despite that, sometimes time can be defeated with knowledge. Educated people with knowledge can change the power of time using vehicles that can speed. Travel with planes is very different from travel with cars. The principles said by Allah when he told about Prophet Sulayman's power which can decrease his traveling duration from a month to a day by riding the wind. Metaphorically speaking, we can say that the vehicle used by Prophet Sulayman to ride the wind is similar to a plane used today:
وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ الرِّيحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌ
Meaning: And to Sulayman (We subjected) the wind- ITS MORNING (JOURNEY WAS THAT OF) A MONTH- AND ITS AFTERNOON (JOURNEY WAS THAT OF) A MONTH. (Saba'[34:12]).
Not just that, the angels that are created with light by Allah can also overcome the "time" with their swift movements. It turns out that "time" deals differently with the angels' technology and the humans' capabilities. Allah's commandment wraps it beautifully:
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ
Meaning: The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him (to accept and complete their task) during a Day the extent of which (felt by the people that are at fault) is fifty thousand years (al-Ma'arij [70:4]).
Time is also one of Allah's first creations because there are a lot of verses that highlighted the early creation of the sky and the earth created in 6 "times":
وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ
Meaning: And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water (Hud[11:7]).
The existence of "time" in this world is determined by the sunrise, sunset and the emergence of the moon. Though, it will definitely differ from the "time" in al-Barzakh. This is because we do not know if there is the sun and the moon in al-Barzakh. It could be that the humans that died in Prophet Adam's time or died a day before Doomsday is still in a same "time" space with the power of Allah as "the Creator of Time".
I have read a dialogue between 2 people of Tabi'in (students of the companions that did not get the chance to meet Rasullullah SAW) that met in a dream. Abdullah bin al-Mubarak said: "I dreamt of meeting Sufyan al-Thawri (have passed away). And i asked him: What did Allah do to you?" Sufyan answered: I have met Muhammad SAW and his companions (al-Ruh by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Jawziyyah, case 28). Despite that, this dream still cannot be considered as an argument.
"Time" is a creation of Allah that is bound to its Creator. It is compulsory for "time" to obey Allah's desire like how the fire obeyed when saving Prophet Ibrahim AS:
قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ
Meaning: Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Ibrahim!" (al-Anbiya'[21:69]).
Throughout the human history, the power of time has been taken away by Allah for a few times like in the tale of 7 pious young men that slept in a cave:
وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعًا
Meaning: And they remained in their cave for three hundred years (by the count of the scribes) and exceeded by nine (by your count) (al-Kahf[18:25]).
Although "time" has passed for 300 hundred years, the 7 bodies of these young men are still very youthful like how they were when they first slept. Same goes to the tale of a young man of Bani Isra'il that slept for a hundred years:
أَوْ كَالَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَى قَرْيَةٍ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا قَالَ أَنَّى يُحْيِي هَذِهِ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا فَأَمَاتَهُ اللَّهُ مِئَةَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتَ قَالَ لَبِثْتُ يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ قَالَ بَلْ لَبِثْتَ مِئَةَ عَامٍ فَانْظُرْ إِلَى طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ آَيَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى الْعِظَامِ كَيْفَ نُنْشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكْسُوهَا لَحْمًا فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ قَالَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Meaning: Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said: "HOW LONG HAVE YOU REMAINED (HERE)?" THE MAN SAID, "I HAVE REMAINED (HERE) A DAY OR PART OF A DAY" HE SAID, "RATHER YOU HAVE REMAINED (HERE) ONE HUNDRED YEARS. LOOK AT YOUR FOOD AND YOUR DRINK; IT HAS NOT CHANGED WITH TIME. AND LOOK AT YOUR DONKEY ( THAT WAS ONLY LEFT WITH BONES); and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones (of this donkey) - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allah is over all things competent" (al-Baqarah [2:259]).
This story clearly shows that Allah is the only one that holds the absolute power of controlling "time". This man's body and food was not affected because "time" was not allowed to touch them, but the donkey turned into bones because Allah allowed "time" to impose its power on it. Subhanallah!
It is the same with Prophet Isa AS. On a normal count, the Prophet was already over 2000 years old, but the Prophet's youth stayed with him like when he was brought up to the sky. He became immune from "time" and did not age because Allah forbid "time" from touching Prophet Isa AS.
May this writing open our hearts to realize that time is a very magical creation of Allah. This is one of the reasons why Allah swore against "time" in the Qur'an:
وَالْعَصْرِ (1) إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ (2) إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ (3)
Meaning: By time! Indeed, mankind is in loss -Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds, and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience (al-'Asr[103:1-3]).
Benefit this creation of Allah the best you can because it will be the reason for our happiness and sorrow in the hereafter. We will definitely be glad if we spend our "time" wisely by filling up our lives being obedient to Allah. On the contrary, we will suffer and regret if we waste our "time" in doing sinful and unbenificial things.
