Ramadan: How do you feel when you have to do something that scares you? Anger or calmness?

Assalamu Aleikom everyone~

Remember being knocked out by an *issue* so big that you didn’t know what to do? You didn’t get that job you wanted so desperately...you met the man/woman of your dreams and they didn’t want to marry you…or that you lost something really precious and you did not know where to turn. . . .

Picture the moment when Musa’s [as] mum hugged her baby son and put him in a basket and placed it on the River Nile…. She must have been scared, nervous and composed all at the same time.

At some point in our lives we will all have to do something that we fear….

How do you feel when you have to do something that scares you? Is it anger and frustration that kicks in…. Or.... a sort of calmness because you trust in Allah knowing that He has a better plan? I love Prophet Musa’s mum because she trusted her Lord and did what He asked her.

The next time you face an *issue* what will you do?
