Your story is in the Quran, the story of how the believers prepared the story of how the believers did not give up on Allah subhanaw taala the story of how you repented to Allah and you kept trying and trying and trying and you never gave up. You never lost hope. You knew who Allah was, you knew there was always a chance to keep moving forward. Your story in the Quran all comes down to one thing and it is your son. It is your perseverance. No matter how difficult things get you keep trying. No matter how many times
