Taking some time, he replied, “I am thinking about your recently held exam. I was expecting your selection...but ....i m very sad... ” Taking a little pause, he continued, “May Allah gra...See more
Pain is such a blessing I say.. I usually say that because without pain what would be the worth of relief. what value would happiness hold without it. None. But the relief comes after the pain is gone right? We don't cry n feel the relief at the same moment. the pain has its due course and then the relief comes? Yes and No.. We often think of relief or ease as something that follows pain.
But the Qur'an doesn’t say 'بعد العسر يسر' (after hards...See more
Hardships are blessings. Hardships are hidden fortune.
Yes, they feel overwhelming. It can feel like life is falling apart, like every door is closing. But often, this is how Allah (SWT) lovingly calls His servant back to Him.

We have come across the saying 'Time heals everything'. When we lose a loved one, grief takes over our hearts like dark clouds and the pain is palpable every moment of the day and night. However, few months or years down the road, we still may be grieving and missing the loved one but the pain is nowhere close to what it was on day one. Allah swt owns everything including time. He created time - which is described in terms of seconds, minutes, ...See more
