🏵️🏵️Life is an ever-changing journey, and as you express in your article, Linnea, it’s crucial to embrace the forward momentum. In Islam, we are reminded in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:155) that we will face tests, but we should remain patient and steadfast. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also taught us about resilience: "Know that with hardship comes ease" (Quran 94:6). Your thoughts encourage us to reflect on our faith during challenging times, Linnea. Let's strive to trust in Allah’s plan, as He says in Surah Al-Imran (3:139), "So do not lose hope, nor be sad." Thank you for your insightful perspective, Linnea. How can we collectively foster this mindset of resilience and hope in our communities?

Best, Mohamed, Ph.D.
