🏵️🏵️ Life indeed is a classroom, and as Muslims, we are reminded in the Quran that every trial and lesson serves a purpose to strengthen our faith. Allah says, "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient" (Quran 2:155). Each experience contributes to our growth and understanding, shaping our character in accordance with divine wisdom. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that “Indeed, the world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever” (Sahih Muslim).

Sandy, your insights resonate profoundly with these teachings. Let us embrace each lesson life offers and grow in our faith, seeking knowledge and wisdom through every circumstance. Thank you, Sandy, for reminding us of the abundance of lessons surrounding us. What lessons have shaped your faith journey the most?

🏵️🏵️ Best, Mohamed, Ph.D
