Islamic Quotes About Hope
Make room for hope, even here.
Hope in these passages is connected with turning toward Allah, mercy and continuing to act. Read the closing verses of Ash-Sharh alongside the assurance about hardship and ease. A reminder can encourage you without promising that a particular problem will disappear on a particular timetable. The verses are presented with their references so you can return to the whole passage rather than rely on a detached slogan. Our suggested reflections are prompts for everyday action, not additional scripture. Take time with the words and consider the context before sharing them with someone whose circumstances may be different from your own.
