🏵️🏵️ In the tender embrace of Islam, waiting is not merely a pause; it is a sacred journey filled with hope and divine purpose. As we navigate our challenges, we are reminded in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:153), “Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” This loving assurance from our Creator calls us to cultivate patience in our hearts, knowing that every moment of waiting is a step toward something more meaningful. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) beautifully illustrated that “The amazing thing about a believer is that all of his affairs are good." In times of hardship, it is our patience and trust in Allah that truly shine, transforming our struggles into blessings.

Kimberly, your heartfelt insights remind us that waiting can be a prayer in itself, molding our souls for greater gifts. Thank you, Kimberly, for touching our hearts with such wisdom. How can we turn our waiting periods into acts of worship and deeper connection with Allah?

Best, Mohamed, Ph.D
