`A beautiful share!` ❤️ My Ustadh told me something one evening that completely shifted the way I viewed hardship. We were talking about setbacks - missed opportunities, closed doors, things that just didn't go our way. Someone had just shared how they didn't get into a job they're really passionate about. You could see the weight in their voice. Disappointment laced every word. That's when Ustadh said: *"You know the story of Musa عليه السّلام and Khidr?"* ```We all nodded.``` He said: *"Everyone loves the part where Khidr explains why he broke the boat, killed the boy, and rebuilt the wall. Because suddenly, the pain makes sense. The confusion becomes clarity. But do you realise something?"* He paused. "Musa عليه السّلام only got the explanation because it was a lesson. The people who owned the boat, the parents of that child, the town that rejected them-they never got told. They just had to live with what happened." ```The room was quiet.``` Then he said: "Sometimes in life, you don't get the Khidr moment. You don't get to find out why something happened. You just get the qadr. The closed door. The loss. The silence. And your test is whether you can still trust Allah without needing the explanation." He leaned forward and said: *"It's easy to have sabr when the story wraps up neatly. But the real test is:* _Can you have tawakkul when you're still in the middle of the story?"_ I remember sitting with those words long after the class ended. *Because we all wait for our Khidr moment, the point where everything makes sense.* But sometimes, that moment doesn't come in this life. And still, we are asked to trust. And that's the moral he left us with: *"Iman isn't proven by understanding the plan, rather by trusting the Planner Himself."*
