“Faith is not passivity; it is surrender with trust. It is opening our hands and hearts, letting go of the illusion of control, and resting in the decree of the Most Merciful.

Without pain, how would we feel compassion?” LifeLightJoyCompassionAcceptanceBalanceSorrowShadowWholenessDuality Author:Ajmal, from the book "Borders of the Inner World"
