🏵️🏵️ The challenges we face today are a reminder of the transient nature of life. Islam teaches us that trials are part of our test in this world. Allah says in the Qur'an, “Do not lose hope, nor be sad” (Surah Al-Imran, 3:139). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of maintaining faith in times of adversity: “How wonderful is the affair of the believer! Indeed, all of his affairs are good.” (Sahih Muslim). It is essential that we unite in our struggles, drawing strength from one another as a community.

Evin, may your words inspire others to recognize our collective responsibility to uplift one another. Remember, the prophetic tradition encourages us: “The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others.” Let us be that beneficial presence in our communities.
