Word of the Week: Adversity.
"The Holy Qur’an teaches us that Allah does not desire hardship for us. (H.Q. 2:185) Further, it is His desire to please us. (H.Q. 93:5) Even so, we can find no life form that came into existence without a struggle. Whether it is the lowest form of insect or man himself, we see that overcoming adversity is a necessary part of life, since life cannot come into being without it.
We must struggle in order to obtain our ultimate goal. Our ultimate goal is to meet with Allah (God). Difficulty is an essential factor in the journey from being a speck of dust to being one with Allah (God)."
