Did we think that the Prophet ﷺ, the man who lost his mother, and his father, and his wife, and his uncle, and his sons, the man who lost his family, they died in front of his eyes, did he ever think that he would gain a family that today stands at 1 billion people?
Bilal al-Habashi, that Ethiopian slave, who before Islam people used to look at him like he was a scum of the earth, nothing, he was dirt, he was dust, did he ever think that one day he would put his feet on top of the Ka'ba?
Al-Khabbab ibn al-Aratt, that man whose back and flesh was burnt with iron, did he ever think that one day he would be of those that was promised paradise?
Never Underestimate the Plan of Allah
Never underestimate the plan of Allah, because no matter how many excel sheets you have, and whatever your budget forecast is, and whatever the news tell you, Allah is اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ — al-Lateef al-Khabir — and we have to trust in His Lutf, because Allah's kindness sometimes shows in ways that we can't see, that we can't see, that we can't see, that we can't see.
"Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted?"
