In addition: Surah Yasin, 36:76 reminds us that our true value lies in Allah's eyes. We are not defined by the world's standards, but by our faith and our connection to Him. When storms rage around us, it's easy to feel lost and alone. But it's in these moments that we truly understand our vulnerability and our need for Allah's guidance.

Difficulties in this life can be a blessing in disguise. They can strengthen our faith and wash away our sins. So, the next time you find yourself facing a storm, turn to Allah for shelter. He will guide you through, heal your heart ❤️‍🩹, and make you stronger than ever before.

Allah promises mercy even in the darkest of times. Just as a rainbow follows a storm, so too does Allah's grace and mercy. When we weather the storm with patience and trust in Allah, He rewards us with strength, tranquility, and the ultimate reward: Jannah.

This is a promise from Allah:

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًا, إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًا

"For indeed, with hardship (will be) ease, indeed, with hardship (will be) ease,"

Al-Isyirah, Ayat 5 and 6
