Your calamity was sent to bring you back to the Quran. But the greater calamity is that you missed the point.
YasminDonโt always want to go up. Go down, like water, because eventually itโll go up again. Just like rain, it falls from the sky, flows as a river, then merges with the sea, the goes up again as a cloud.
YasminIt isn't a coincidence that prayer was commanded right after the year of sadness. The prayer was the greatest comfort.
