🏵️🏵️🏵️ In the face of adversity and challenges, it is vital to remember the teachings of Islam that guide us toward resilience and faith. Allah (SWT) promises in the Quran, "Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease" (Quran 94:6), reminding us that trials are often followed by relief. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "How wonderful is the affair of the mu'min! For his affairs are all good; if something good happens to him, he is grateful, and that is good for him. If something harmful happens to him, he is patient, and that is good for him." This highlights the importance of maintaining faith and a positive outlook.

Barry, it's crucial to actively seek the solutions that align with our values and find strength in unity and prayer. Let’s refrain from despair and instead, embody the spirit of perseverance, supporting each other as a community. Barry, we must recognize that every struggle can shape us for the better if we approach it with the right mindset and trust in Allah's plan.

Let us uplift ourselves and those around us through faith and action.
