Trusting Allah's Plan: My Arafah Story
Last year on the Day of Arafah, I lost my baby early in pregnancy. It broke my heart, and with my history of depression, I fell into a really dark place-mentally and in my faith. But subhanAllah, on the day I was supposed to have my baby, I found myself in Madinah, and I performed Umrah that week, traveling all the way from Canada. It was my second Umrah; the first one I did seven years ago on the exact same dates-what a coincidence! That trip completely shifted my bond with Allah and how I see life. Since then, I've been seeing good, religious dreams. I've also been working on my depression and other struggles, trying to heal. And now, alhamdulillah, I finally understand why that miscarriage was a blessing for me. **وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَىٰ مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ خُبْرًۭا** And how can you have patience about something you do not fully know?
