As I grow- I realize more and more that Allah never takes anything away without wisdom. Sometimes- we experience loss—whether it’s a person- an opportunity- or something we deeply wished for—and in that moment- it feels difficult to understand. We may question why it happened- but over time- we begin to see the ḥikmah -wisdom- behind it. Allah reminds us in the Qur’an: ‘Perhaps you dislike something and it is good for you- and perhaps you love something and it is bad for you. And Allah knows- while you know not.’ -2:216- What we think is good for us may- in reality- be a test or a distraction from something greater. And what leaves us was never truly ours—because what is written for us by Allah will always find its way to us- and what isn’t meant for us will never remain. So even in moments of pain and uncertainty- we should trust in the perfect plan of Allah. His mercy is in every ‘no-’ in every redirection- and in every difficulty that protects us from what we cannot see. What He removes- He replaces with something better—if not in this life- then in the Hereafter. And in that- there is always peace. You see me smiling,but behind this smile are silent battles,you’ll never know I’ve faced the storm that tried to break me,yet here I am still standing,still smiling,this smile is not weakness,its proof of strength,courage.Behind every curve of my lips is a story of survival,a heart that chose to fight and a soul that never gave up.I smile to shine anyway.
