Always assume the best of Him. Sometimes, what feels like a setback is actually a means of protection, purification, or preparation for something better that you can’t yet see.\\n\\nShaytan wants us to have a negative view of Allah because it leads to fear, panic, and despair, exactly the place he wants us to be.
