⚡Avoid using the phrase: َسُنَّة الحياة
🚫"That's life"
🚫"Fact of life"
🚫"Circle of life"
➡️ And instead say: سُنَّةَ اللَّه "this is the Way of Allaah"
سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا
{That has been the Way of Allaah already with those who passed away before, and you will not find any change in the Way of Allaah}
📚 [Surah al-Ahzaab (33):60]
📚 [see also Surah al-Ahzaab (33):38; Surah Ghaafir (40):85; Surah al-Fath (48):23]
🎓 Shaikh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله said:
❌ A person should not say: "that's the circle of life" (or "that's how life is").
✔️ Rather, he should say: "this is the Way of Allaah in dealing with His creation". This is the Decree of Allaah and His Preordainment. A person should link (or attach) the matter (affair) to Allaah عز وجل. He should not link it to" life".
Perhaps this might not be far from the statement of those who used to say:
وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ
{And they say: "There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live AND NOTHING DESTROYS US EXCEPT AL-DAHR* (the time).}
📚 [Surah al-Jaathiyah (45): 24]
*The word AL-DAHR means: “A long period of time”, “era”, “eon”, “epoch” etc.
