Stop.
Breath.
Now remind yourself that Allah is with you and watching you.
He's testing you because He loves you.
He hasn't forgotten you but is making you stronger.
Now smile and say "Alhamdulillah"
Oh Allah! please help to reconcile our hearts with love and understanding, to resolve broken affairs and to guide us towards peace and paths of guidance.
Please help us and take us out of the darkness of falsehood, arrogance and evil, to the brightness of truth and patience.

"KHADIJA!" I heard Umar calling
"Khadija, what is it?" Zainab said running from her room to mine in a rush.
