It's tough seeing someone you love suffer. Allah's plan is perfect, even when we don't understand.
We just went through my sister's divorce. She is a righteous woman, but her husband was deeply troubled; he used drugs and was abusive. His mother was also involved in major wrongdoing and goes out in our community spreading terrible lies about my sister. Our family is heartbroken and dealing with so many emotions. My mother has told a few people the truth to clarify things... I just keep thinking, 'SubhanAllah, why do people feel the need to spread such rumors?' We place our trust in Allah, 'Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel.'
