In the year of sorrow, the year which our beloved Prophet ﷺ lost his uncle and wife within 3 days of each other, and was humiliated and stoned out of the city of Ta’if, Allah ordained the 5 daily prayers. Coincidence?

Here we learn a number of lessons:

• Prayer is the means to help lift us through our sorrows
• Being sad does not mean a lack of faith
• Being tested does not equate to being punished

More to come on this insha’allah!
