When You Are Stuck

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

You do what you can to avoid problems, But sometimes problems just come to you despite your conscious efforts to avoid them, despite all your precautions, despite all your good planning, despite all your du'as. Some problems are just there and stay there. Some problems go away and another problem takes over. Maybe tougher. You are facing it, what seems to be the most difficult situation in your life. Your are alone. You feel stuck! It pains you. How do you get out of this pain? I really don't know. But I do know that this life is a battlefield. So you fight. You fight without losing yourself. Use this situation to turn to Allah and be patient until Allah sends you victory.

Remember were it not this situation He sent you, you would not have fought and tried to overcome it. So perhaps He is testing you to see how you react to this difficult situation. So cling to Him. Cling to Him and don't let go.

May Allah not leave us alone even for a blink of an eye. Ameen. Please keep us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalaam
