Why Do I Have These (Dis)Abilities? | Why Me?

There is no greater blessing after faith than good health. Good health gives you the opportunity to strive in the way of Allah and earn blessings. But what if it wasn’t decreed for you, and you are living with disability or illness? Allah has placed reward in both ability and disability, and there is always something to strive for in every circumstance.
