wrinkle in life, and that other times, your challenges come one after another.

When they are compounded and they follow one another, you need a little relief, it becomes overwhelming for a suit Allah said Alana It was sort of one of those points in his life where the test from Allah were so intense and it was just one after the other

is a year that many scholars of Sita refer to as Ahmed present the year of grief. In one year. He loses his wife or the other the Allahu Ana. And at that point, the prophets of Allah Allah He was Saddam, had not married anyone else. She was a mother of his children, his companion for 25 years, and she departed from this world. Number two of Bhutan him the support system for a suit allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Mecca, the person who was very similar to a fatherly figure in the Prophet's life, and also the Quraysh, because of his protection would not dare touch the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa sallam,

And then to make things even more difficult, many historians say it was in this very same year, that the incident and tragic story of life takes place. This is where you begin to wonder, man I'm crumbling, the weight is just way too much. My shoulders can't handle this. What's fascinating though, is that with all that shoulder, all the weight on the shoulders of sort of loss of a lot is sort of one after another after another.

And Allah subhanaw taala blessing to be so low on a was so what really

stood out what manage the nine of ascension, where he witnessed the angels and the prophets and went to the heavens and converse with his Lord. And the ascension for the believer is their prayer. Ease will come. That's the promise of Allah. Not sort of min Allahu Futterman, it will come. Maybe not how you expect it. Maybe not how you envisioned it, maybe not when you demanded it. But it'll come how Allah subhanaw taala wills for it to come. In the meantime, be committed, strong and patient. Keep yourself connected to Allah.
