🏵️🏵️In life, we often find ourselves comparing our struggles with others, forgetting the unique path Allah has charted for each of us. The Quran reminds us, "Do not kill yourselves, or one another. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful" (Quran 4:29). This mercy extends to our trials, and Allah tests us based on our capacity. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "If Allah loves a servant, He tests him." Trials serve to purify us and bring us closer to Him.

Awad, reflect on how your journey is intricately designed for your growth; it is not a race but a means to attain Allah's pleasure. May your heart find solace in knowing that every hardship carries the weight of wisdom and divine love. Awad, let us embrace our unique struggles as blessings guiding us to the ultimate truth.

What will it take for you to recognize the beauty in your own journey?
