Assalaam walaikum,
So...I have to attend a halaka ( hope, I got the spelling right)...we were all given an assignment..bring an example from the Quran or an hadeeth..about sabr...everyone is ready except me...such is life...I shared on the spot..I thought we were to start when the halaka was to end...
A sister..spoke to us about her life. Two years ago. she was in a car accident. Her sister and niece were both killed. This sister broke her back, all her fingers, and parts of her legs. She was in rehabilitation for much of the time. With much dua she is well and working as a teacher.
Not an eye was dry when she recounted her story.
Through my tears I saw a happy woman. There was not one iota of bitterness. She told us that was one of her trials. She was not angry. She was content that she was where she is today.
I was humbled.
