A Glimpse of Hope!

With all the tears, pain and sadness we face sometimes, we long for a glimpse of hope. That is the search for meaning in the midst of pain and suffering.

The nature of human being is to always search for meaning in the difficult situations we face in life. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a financial crisis or recovering from an illness, we strive to gain meaning and wisdom.

Some might start the process with self-blame like: Is it me? Am I being punished? Did I do something wrong? The self-blame in the this process is normal. But then not to stop there but to continue reflecting using the big picture thinking.

Many recites in the holy book of Quran, Allah encourages us to look at the creation of the earth and the seven skies. Look at the human creatures, how they were created from one soul. This motivates us to go back to our nature and how we were created. Doing that, gives us a glimpse of hope that no matter the situation you are going through, no matter the pain you are feeling now, remember your creator sees you, hears you, understands you, knows what you are going through and is with you and near you at all times.
