We live in a world where we want things immediately. But, all around us, Allah teaches us a profound lesson, again and again: everything is a process and takes time. Allah could have made a baby in a moment, but He designed it to take 9 months. A seed could have become a massive Oak in a day, but He designed it to take hundreds of years. What you see as a delay might be Allah's perfect timing for you. What you see as a hurdle might be Allah's protection for you. What you see as a deprivation might be Allah's blessing for you.
