When Allah Says "Not This", It's Still Love

Image
There was a time when every night ended in tears, every silence became overthinking, every uncertainty felt frightening, and every unanswered question weighed heavily on my heart. I mistook delays for disappointments, closed doors for loss, and broken expectations for abandonment. But now I see what I could not see then. Allah was not depriving me, He was protecting me. Every path that never opened, every mixed signal that disturbed my heart, every plan that fell apart, and every feeling that never settled... they were all acts of His mercy.  Even the things I forced myself to hold onto, hoping they would work out, were gently taken away before they could leave deeper wounds.

This man in al-Quds deserves so much love and recognition. Abu Khadijah was offered a fortune from authorities and upto 36 million dollars from foreigners to sell his small cafe in the old city of Jerusalem which has a tunnel leading to Masjid al-Aqsa underneath it but he refused.  He said, 'This land belongs to the Muslims and I will not give away a single part of it for any price in this world!'
