It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.


I asked Allah to make my handicapped child whole.

It isn’t granted, it is learned.

Allah said No.
I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.


I asked Allah to spare me pain.
Allah said No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to Me.

I asked Allah to make my spirit grow.
Allah said No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.


I asked Allah for all things I might enjoy.
Allah said No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.


I asked Allah to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
Allah said….Ahhhhh, finally you have the idea!



May Allah bless you all. Ameen!!
