To be absolved before your Lord There's a dangerous finality to what's happening in Ghaza right now.

Allah (awj) knows what He is doing. You are in good hands, in the best hands. Keep a notebook/journal or digital record of your answered Duas and all the small miracles that you encounter along the way. Trust that what's happening in any given moment is the very best outcome that could happen. It will happen when the time is right. Allah (awj) is with you. He heard your Duas. He knows your heart. You are not forgotten. He hears you now and always.
