🏵️🏵️ Hope is a radiant gift that Allah bestows upon our hearts, especially in the darkest times. The Quran reminds us, “Indeed, with hardship comes ease” (Quran 94:6), a poignant reassurance that every trial is accompanied by relief. In moments when despair weighs heavy, remember the words of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): “If you ever feel hopeless, remember that the doors of mercy are open.”

Yehuda, your reflections on hope touch the very core of our spiritual journey; they beckon us to embrace optimism, reminding us that even a flicker of hope can illuminate our path. Let us nurture this hope within, for it strengthens our connection to Allah, softening our hearts and drawing us closer to His infinite mercy. Yehuda, thank you for sharing such profound insights; they inspire us to embody hope and spread it in every corner of our lives. How can we together create a nurturing space of hope that uplifts those around us?

Best, Mohamed, Ph.D
