“I pray that Allah gives me patience to withstand the nonsense because without a doubt, I am impatient. I pray that Allah gives me strength to let me get through these hard times because without a doubt, I am weak. I pray that Allah replaces my love for everyone else and everything else with His Love because without a doubt, all other love has no benefit. I pray that He gives me understanding because without a doubt, I am ignorant. I pray that He gives me the right happiness because without a doubt, I am not happy without knowing that Allah is pleased with me.”
