We shia's all know our ossol-e-deen. Tawheed, adl, nabuwat, Imamat & Qayamat. And even though these are the pillars of our faith, we don't necessarily believe in them as much as we should.
How many times have you heard someone say or said yourself "this is not fair" ?. Just this question asked in self pity and remorse in any situation shows disrespect and lack of faith in the adalat (justice) of Allah. Everything that happens in our lives is because of the choices we make, what we do on our daily basis, every action has it's consequences and accordingly we have to bear with them, because Allah makes the judgement. So how can anything in the lives of a Muslim let alone a shia'a be unjust or unfair?! On the contrary it should be welcomed!!
It is something we really need to think deep about. We seldom focus ourselves on our roots, the pillars of our religion are not just for us to know on our fingertips, it's the base of our beliefs. How can you pray five times a day when you don't think Allah is just with you?. We need to acknowledge that everything in Islam has depth and meaning, and it's all beneficial to us in the end of the day. If we take this pillar (adl) alone for instance, so many of our problems would not arise. Believing in the justice of Allah is the safest feeling, it's an everyday optimistic attitude. What could be better than having the trust of your life and its happenings in the hand of Allah, the all merciful, the all knowing, the powerful!. Do we need any more satisfaction than the satisfaction of Allah planning our lives?!. I don't think so.
Just imagine if you were to believe in this with your heart, every event of your life you would welcomed with open arms, the happiness, the sadness, the despair, because every time something does happen, you know its because Allah wished it to happen to you. And Allah is never going to want bad for any of its creations be it animals or humans.And He is never unfair, we will reap only what we sow.
So change your attitude, go back to your roots they are there for a reason. Identify them and next time anything happens to you thank Allah for his kindness and generosity things could always be worser than they are. Repent for your sins, your actions will yield the results so think before you do anything remember Allah is watching and he's going to be doing his justice with EVERYONE. And Inshallah you will be safe from sinning and always satisfied with life.

Salamalaikum. Mashallah nice article. May Allah show us the right path and guide us. I recommend to write an article on diseases of soul, such as ajb, gheeba etc . Jazakallah
Allhumdolilla a very true word.Allah says in quran if anything nice happens to you its a blessing from us but if any misfortune befalls you its because of your deeds."Nahjul balaga says surrender and submission to Allah is the best solution"and ofcourse it is because when you submit yourself to the knower of all and unseen and most wise end is well eventually.I appreciate your true and realistic thoughts and wish may allah bestow his blessings upon prophet and his family and to u and every one else.
