We pray to Allaah that He removes your difficulty, and i want you to know that none of this is going un-noticed;
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
“A Muslim is not afflicted by hardship, sickness, sadness, worry, harm, or depression—even if pricked by a thorn—but Allah expiates his sins because of that”
(Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
