Problems in Life

Everyone faces problems in their life, starting from the most smallest problems to the biggest. It could be as simple as what to wear and as big as a life and death situation. But remember, "Don't let problems bury you alive."(Shaykh Waleed Basyouni) Instead of imagining the worst of worst that could happen, think of ways to solve that problem. Learn how to fight back with your heart and remember God doesn't destine you with anything he knows you can't handle. He know ones ability over certain things and literally customizes our problems for our benefits. Next time you are relieved from a problem ask yourself, "What was God trying to teach me?"
