![Three Kinds of Worshippers
There are people inthe worldthatworshiporcall untoAllah(SWT) onlyinthe time of theirneed.When
theyare introuble orhave bad healthetc.Allah(SWT) saysinthe Quran:
“It is He who enablesyou to travelon land and sea until,when you are in shipsand they sail with them
by a good wind and they rejoice therein, therecomes a stormwind and the wavescomeupon themfrom
everywhereand they assumethatthey are surrounded,supplicating Allah,sincereto Him in religion, 'If
You should saveusfromthis,we will surely beamong thethankful.'Butwhen He savesthem,at once
they commit injusticeupon theearth withoutright…” (Quran Surah YunusAyahs10:22-23)
Tragically,whentheirneedshave beenmetandtheyhave been savedfromwhatevertheirproblem
was,theygo back to theiroldwayswhere theythinktheydon’treallyneedAllah(SWT).
There isa kindof personwhoisthe worstamongall perhaps.He is the one whosays the wordsof
ingratitude wheneversome troublebefallshim.The easiestwayoutforthiskindof personissimplyto
blame Allah(SWT) andquestionHisdecisions.ForsuchaspersonAllah(SWT) saysinthe Quran:
“And of the peopleis he who worshipsAllah on an edge.If he is touched by good,heis reassured by it;
butif he is struckby trial, he turnson his face[to theother direction].He haslost [this] world and the
Hereafter.That is whatis the manifestloss.” (Qurah Surah Al-Hajj Ayah22:11)
The problemwiththese kindof peopleisthattheythinktheyare entitledtoonlygoodfromAllah(SWT)
and anytrialsand hardshipsthatmay befall themisthoughtbythemaspunishment.
Thenthere are the bestkindsof people whoworshipandobeyAllah(SWT) underall conditionsbe it

comfortin Allah(SWT) andwhentheyare blessedwithease,theypraise Allah(SWT).Whenthese
people are grateful,Allah(SWT) providesthemwithmuchmore. ProphetMuhammad(SAW) saidabout
the believers,
“How wonderfulisthe affairof the believer,for his affairsareall good,and thisappliesto no one butthe
believer. If something good happensto him,heis thankfulforit and thatis good forhim.If something
bad happensto him,he bearsit withpatience and thatis good forhim.” (Sahih Muslim)
It isthe dutyof each and everyMuslimtoworshipAllah(SWT) inthisway.Nomatterwhatthe

“And We will surely test you withsomething of fearand hungerand a loss of wealth and lives and fruits,
butgive good tidingsto thepatient, Who,when disasterstrikes them,say,'Indeed we belong to Allah,
and indeed to Him we will return'.” (Quran Surah Baqarah Ayahs 2:155-156)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/blog3-threekindsofworshippers-170103075140/85/Three-Kinds-of-Worshippers-1-320.jpg)

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Three Kinds of Worshippers
- 1. Three Kinds of Worshippers There are people inthe worldthatworshiporcall untoAllah(SWT) onlyinthe time of theirneed.When theyare introuble orhave bad healthetc.Allah(SWT) saysinthe Quran: “It is He who enablesyou to travelon land and sea until,when you are in shipsand they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, therecomes a stormwind and the wavescomeupon themfrom everywhereand they assumethatthey are surrounded,supplicating Allah,sincereto Him in religion, 'If You should saveusfromthis,we will surely beamong thethankful.'Butwhen He savesthem,at once they commit injusticeupon theearth withoutright…” (Quran Surah YunusAyahs10:22-23) Tragically,whentheirneedshave beenmetandtheyhave been savedfromwhatevertheirproblem was,theygo back to theiroldwayswhere theythinktheydon’treallyneedAllah(SWT). There isa kindof personwhoisthe worstamongall perhaps.He is the one whosays the wordsof ingratitude wheneversome troublebefallshim.The easiestwayoutforthiskindof personissimplyto blame Allah(SWT) andquestionHisdecisions.ForsuchaspersonAllah(SWT) saysinthe Quran: “And of the peopleis he who worshipsAllah on an edge.If he is touched by good,heis reassured by it; butif he is struckby trial, he turnson his face[to theother direction].He haslost [this] world and the Hereafter.That is whatis the manifestloss.” (Qurah Surah Al-Hajj Ayah22:11) The problemwiththese kindof peopleisthattheythinktheyare entitledtoonlygoodfromAllah(SWT) and anytrialsand hardshipsthatmay befall themisthoughtbythemaspunishment. Thenthere are the bestkindsof people whoworshipandobeyAllah(SWT) underall conditionsbe it hardshipor ease.Theirfaithsdonotfalterforwhenhardshipscome theirway,theyseekguidanceand comfortin Allah(SWT) andwhentheyare blessedwithease,theypraise Allah(SWT).Whenthese people are grateful,Allah(SWT) providesthemwithmuchmore. ProphetMuhammad(SAW) saidabout the believers, “How wonderfulisthe affairof the believer,for his affairsareall good,and thisappliesto no one butthe believer. If something good happensto him,heis thankfulforit and thatis good forhim.If something bad happensto him,he bearsit withpatience and thatis good forhim.” (Sahih Muslim) It isthe dutyof each and everyMuslimtoworshipAllah(SWT) inthisway.Nomatterwhatthe circumstancesare,a believeralwaysfindshisorherway back to Allah (SWT) be itinthe darkestof nightsor the brightestof days. A goodadvice fromthe Most Merciful Himself is: “And We will surely test you withsomething of fearand hungerand a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, butgive good tidingsto thepatient, Who,when disasterstrikes them,say,'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return'.” (Quran Surah Baqarah Ayahs 2:155-156)
