“If only… would my life be better?” We all ask this question at some point in our life.
Dr. Farah Islam reminds us not to waste our years longing for a life we don’t have. What feels like defeat may, in reality, be a hidden victory. Al-Wahhab, the Ultimate Giver, knows exactly what to withhold and what to grant, and every gift carries wisdom.
