Why Were Hurtful People Put in My Life? | Why Me?

People can be the greatest blessing in your life, but they can also be the source of immense pain. But why does Allah put evil people in your life? And how do you show grace to those who’ve wronged you? Getting over heartbreak and betrayal and controlling your anger and envy may be difficult, but it isn’t impossible, and the wisdom in Islamic tradition is rife with practical advice and motivation.
