Assalamu'alaikum, this is one of my favourite reads, I thought I'd share it seeings as I discovered this section only now!
Turning Your Losses Into Gains...taken from "The Happiest Woman In the World" by Dr. A'idh al-Qarni
Do not despair if your feet stumble and you fall into a big hole, you will come out of it stronger than before. And Allah, the Almighty, is with those who are patient.
Do not grieve if you receive a fatal arrow from one of those closest to your heart, for you will find someone to pull out the arrow, treat the wound and bring back to you, the joy of life and the ability to smile.....
Do not stand for too long looking at the ruins and destructions, especially if they are inhabited by bats, and ghosts have found their way to them. Rather, look for the sound of a birdsong heralding the coming of a new dawn....
Do not look at papers whose colour has changed and whose writing has faded, whose lines wander between pain and loneliness. You will wind that these lines are not the best things that you have written and these papers are not the last thing you shall ever write. You should differentiate between one who will read these lines and one who will throw them out into the wind, for they are not merely beautiful words; they are the feelings of a heart that has lived these lines, letter by letter, the pulse of one who took them as a dream and felt the pain of their fire. Do not be like the heron which sings its most beautiful song when it is bleeding. Nothing in this world, deserves even a single drop of your blood.
================================================
"he who sows the wind, reaps the storm"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...And bear with patience whatever befalls you..."
(Qur'an 31:17)]
May Allah cure our illnesses, help overcome our weaknesses, heal these wounds and scars and forgive us all....ameen
