In the days like now where things seem to be falling apart, where it can be very difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel – whether it’s in your personal life or the world around us – Allah’s will, while it may come with challenges, while it may make twists and turns that don’t seem to make sense to us, ultimately Allah’s will is for us. And through Allah’s will, anything – anything – is possible.
