With every hardship comes ease...

"With every hardship, comes ease. Verily, with hardship comes ease." (94:5-6)

"Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear, grant us forgiveness and have mercy on us. You are our Protector. Help us against those who deny the truth." (2:286)

Whatever happens in life is for the best. Allah tests those whom He loves. Every test in life happens for a reason, be strong, and be patient. Allah loves you. He really does or He wouldn't test you. He wouldn't give you the chance to return to Him, Him alone, and expiate your sins. He'll forgive your sins, till you're as pure as a newborn baby. Allah knows what's in your heart and He knows you more than anyone else, even yourself. He's your best friend. He knows what you want and what you need. He is your Creator, your Sustainer, your only hope.

Life is filled with trials. The Prophet told us, "If Allah wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with trials." (Bukhari) So whatever you're going through, just know it's because you are so beloved to Allah that He wants you to be forgiven! He wants to hear what's worrying you, what's bothering you. He's there- 24 hours, 365 days. He answers you WHENEVER you need Him.

The Prophet also said, "A Muslim male or female, remains subject to trials (in this world) in respect of self, children and property till he or she faces Allah, the Exalted, (on the Day of Judgment) in a state in which all his or her sins have been remitted." (Tirmidhi)

SubhanAllah. How beautiful is that?
