Asalamualaikum, logged into TSR after ages, last post in the the ISOC was in January. Hope everyone is well. SubhanAllah a lot happened for me in the last few months. One thing I have learned is that everything that is perceived as a test is actually a blessing, every perceived test is an opportunity to get closer to Allah, therefore the more you use this opportunity to increase your imaan the easier it will be for you to accept that everything that happens is for the best. One other thing is that duas are always accepted. I might share a few examples later but they are a bit personal but no matter what you ask for never doubt it wont be accepted or think 'it's just not going to be possible'. A dua I have been making for the last four years pretty much everyday was answered, if it was answered earlier, I would actually have been in a difficult situation so only Allah knows the best time for you to be in the situation that you find yourself in. Lastly, never despair, a Muslim should never despair. Actually the last thing is smile, always keep smiling.
