O Sally it is good to hear from u, Alhamdulelah we really wanted to make sure u r ok with your first ramadan. Anya is also having his first ramadan Mash a Allah 2 beginners with fasting but both seem to be doing well Mash a Allah
Sally Alhamdulelah that tests and trials are bringing u closer to Allah, what else can we do. If we dont like it, then we may go look for another canopy to shade under but His skies, or other sources of water than His, plants to eat from that are not owned to Allah, other earth to walk on, ...... can we find a place that is not His? no we can not. So we better take what He gives even if it seems on the superfacial hard. Deep inside there will be much good. Sally tests are like training courses we take. Can u be promoted from a regular employee to a managerial position without training? no u can not. Like wise when Allah elevates a servant He puts him./her into tests to be qualified for the step up Insh a Allah.
So up u go sister.....
