My Rebirth: A Saga Of Trials To Triumphs by Sakariya, Ridwanullah

 My Rebirth: A Saga of Trials to Triumphs  _“And peace is on me the day I was born, the day I will die, and the day I am raised alive.”_  In the span of the last three hundred and sixty-five days, life has gifted me an unyielding lesson: to anchor my feet firmly to the earth, even when the ground beneath me fractures and crumbles, even when my heart quakes with anguish, bleeding elements so foreign, so fierce that they sear the vision and shatter the soul; even when the heavens plummet and the skies collapse upon my head, still, I stood. That life was relentless—unyielding in its storms—but I was fiercer. I clawed my way up thorn-covered walls, even when no ladder graced my path. It was a life that rarely gifted drizzle but drowned me in torrents. A life of twists and contradictions—misfortunes draped in blessings, defeats veiled with fleeting victories, dreams carved into monuments of regret, smiles etched with hidden tears. I called it a process—a refining f...

The Unseen Blessings in Disguise

Image
  Salaam Alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh Jannah Aspirants 🥰. Today I will be discussing the topic:  Trials: The Unseen Blessings in Disguise  Let’s face it: life is a test. And as Muslims, we’ve been forewarned. Allah Himself told us, “We will surely test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives, and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient.” Trials are not a “maybe” ; they’re a when. They come in all shapes and sizes, some feel like gentle nudges, others like a full-blown earthquake. But the beauty lies in how we handle them.   It’s funny, though. Sometimes when trials hit, our first reaction is, “Who did I offend?” We start tracing our steps like detectives in a crime show. But let’s be clear: trials are not always about who dislikes you or who’s doing juju. They’re a divine decree, meant to test our patience and strengthen our faith. So, stop giving Aunty Iyabo credit for your setbacks, she’s not that powerful!   What’s even more intrigui...
