After bombing a mosque in Gaza, they found an open Qur’aan with the verse.
“Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you, and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows, while you know not.”

There will be times when the Almighty holds you back temporarily until the path is clear for you to move on. He can see things you can’t. Be thankful for the delay. Don’t curse it. The Owner of Time knows when it’s best for you to carry on with your journey.
All the prayers you’ve been making, trust the Almighty will answer them

Be wary of the jealous heart. It can do untold damage & eventually destroy you. Jealous people often talk bad about you behind your back to ruin your reputation & your relationship with others. May the Almighty protect us from such people & help us purify our hearts.
