According to the Surah Yunus Ayat 12,
"Whenever affliction touches a man, he prays to Us, whether lying down on his side, sitting or standing. But as soon as We relieve his affliction (troubles), he walks away as if he had never prayed to Us for removing that affliction which had touched him!! Thus, the foul deeds which they do are made fair-seeming to the transgressors."
Are we turning to Allah only at the times of help? Are we praying salat, fasting and giving sadaqah when we are afflicted with pains and hardships? Is this act fair-seeming to us or Allah? Are we doing it right? No! This is the behaviour of the hypocrites of Ehle Makkah and the people of Phiraon!
Whenever any hardship used to befall upon the nation of Phiraon, they used to ask Musa alai Salam to pray to his Rabb (Allah) to remove the hardships from them and they will believe in Allah and follow Musa alai Salam If their hardships were removed from them. And when Allah removed calamity from them, they broke their promises and didn't change their acts of transgression. They did this many times until Allah fully destroyed the nation of Phiraon due to their false promises and weak/fake intentions.
We also behave like the worse of Phiraon's nation. We should never behave this way. We need to trust Allah at all times and hope for His mercy and His forgiveness.
All we hope and expect from Allah is the materialistic gain and pleasure of this world but none of us are actually hoping for Allah's mercy and forgiveness in their prayers.
The only relationship we have with Allah is when we are in need of something from this world.
Imagine a friend of yours who constantly turns to you when they need help from you and constantly disappoints you by forgetting you at the times when they are happy. How would you feel? This is the case. No one likes it. We call such people selfish, mean, using friend and a kind of friend who comes to you only when THEY need something. They simply don't care much about you. These people only care about their benefit, their happiness and their gain.
Allah has described this exact people in His glorious book.
Shaitaan has made this act of 'turning to Allah only for help' beautiful and fair-seeming. This is why most of us don't realise our mistakes because we think it's justified. Nay, they are nothing but Gaafil. They perceive not, nor do they take heed.
The thing we should learn from this aayat is that we should remember Allah at all times, whether we are young or old, happy or sad, rich or poor, hungry or full, busy or free, single or married, sitting or standing, morning and night. At all times!!!
A real mo'min is the one who is patient at hardships, thanks Allah at good times, remembers Allah (Dhikr) at all times, trusts Allah and accepts the decree of Allah with whatever destiny and fate He had chosen for us. Stop complaining and nagging. Do not long or hasten for a decision to be made. Be patient.
"All good things come to those who wait."
