The hardships that draw you closer to Allāh عز وجل carry a sweetness that nothing in this world can compare to. سبحان الله through every trial you understand again and again, that you truly have no one but Allāh عز وجل. And that He alone can understand the pain within your heart. You will never truly feel happy without the closeness of Allāh عز وجل.
Even if that closeness means being alone… even if it means isolation, total silence. WAllahi, I find myself longing for the moments of sadness and heartbreak certain trials caused me. Because every hardship brought me closer to my Rabb. It felt like Jannah in this dull dunya.
And those who taste the sweetness of iman once, no matter how far they drift, they spend their lives longing for that peace again.
