*Life doesn't always go the way we plan.* We might face rejection after applying for a job, experience a sudden change in our plans, or see a close friendship drift apart. In those moments, it's easy to feel disappointed or even heartbroken. But have we ever considered that perhaps these setbacks are actually for our own good? In the Qur'an, Allah ﷻ reminds us: *But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you do not know.* (Qur'an, 2:216) This verse reassures us that Allah's wisdom is far greater than ours. What seems like a loss today could be a blessing in disguise. When a door closes on something we deeply desire, it's natural to feel sad. But let's not get stuck staring at that closed door. Instead, let’s take a moment to look around. Often, when Allah takes something away, He is preparing us for something better—something we might not have even imagined. So, if you're feeling down about a missed opportunity or a lost chance, remember: *Allah knows what’s best for you. He might be protecting you from harm or guiding you toward something far greater.* Trust that He has a plan, even if you can't see it right now. Take a deep breath, lift your eyes from that closed door, and believe that new ones are opening— *ones that will lead you to something beautiful, something meant just for you.* 🌷
