Living on hope

بِسْم الله الرحمٰن الرحيم

Al-Ankaboot {29:2}

﴿أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوٓا۟ أَن يَقُولُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ﴾

Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested?!
~~~~~~~~~

This verse is a proof from my lord that every believer will be tested just like I have. It's not ease to be tested. But that's the only way to paradise.

Some are tested more than what I have encountered. And some have been tested less than what I have encountered. All depending upon ones Taqwaa and Eman.

My name is Ameena Hussain. My life was just as sweet as any other newlywed woman could be. Until...

I have been tested with one of the most beloved things to me in this world- my husband. So many times have I thought of giving up on this world for its spring to appear, physically before mentally. I had hardship in my life, so much that I forgot what happiness even was. Times where I thought this world didn't even have any happiness or pleasure. Times were I thought this world is the world of live bodies but dead souls and hearts. And times where smiles don't exist. Evil- is what I thought this world to be.

But no matter what, I knew I can handle what was thrown my way. Because no matter what, Gods words are true.

Al-Baqara {2:86}

﴿لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ ...﴾؅

Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope...
~~~~~~~

That's how I knew I can handle what I faced. Because Allah was telling me through this verse "I will not burden you with more than you can handle."

I never lost faith in Allah. Never lost hope that I will have a better life. Maybe not here, not now, but later in the next life, Inn Shaa Allah.

Hope is what I breath... because it's all I have...
