Allah says: {Whosoever does right, whether male or female, and is a believer, we shall make them live a good life, and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.} ( 16: 97) This “ good life ” is happiness itself. It is realized through faith and Allah says: Whatever afflicts you of hardship is from what your hands have earned. And Allah pardons much. So what you’re seeing is a fraction of your result. And often times, we look at the state of the Ummah and we have to realize that there is a strong correlation between how far we are from Allah and the state of our well being.

It isn’t because you’re weak. It isn’t because you’re just not grateful enough. This place can be both physical and mental. Often times after school is over, friends (as well as ourselves) go off to different places, different countries for careers, marriage, family etc. Because of these changes, we can feel alone and/or rejected. This is a common phrase for many young adults. Allah (swt) is with you. One of the fruits of being close to someone is feeling safe and understood.
