Every Storm will Pass

Sometimes we tend to find ourselves in such hard situations and that tests are indeed piling up over each other - humiliations, lost of beloved ones, failures, hatred, sorrow, pain, anger and all of these negative feelings.

But take a moment, right before sunrise, at the end of your salah after your tasleem, when you raise your hands and make du’a, do you notice how the skies change colors?

When you do, then you will realize that indeed, our life is but like this, that darkness (trials and tribulations) will come to an end and that sun will rise just as we rise from every failure, stronger and better than before.

Such moment reminds us of the ayah;

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. [Qur’an 3:190]
