With Difficulty Comes Ease - Shaykh Yasir Fahmy

There will always be challenges in our lives, but hardships are never meant to break us. The Messenger of God ﷺ experienced many challenges in life. How did he handle these difficulties without allowing them to overwhelm him?

Every path has its obstacles, some easy to recognize, others hidden. These are blind spots or distortions that prevent us from seeing the way clearly. Facilitating our path to God involves an active awareness of how we think, process information and engage our intellectual framework with the mores of the day.

Imam Dawud Walid reflects a painful moment in his life, recounting how his grief eventually gave way to anger. With the consultation of his spiritual mentors, he was able to navigate through it. He draws from a profound Hadith on the salawat on the Prophet ﷺ and offers practical advice for all of us who are going through it.
