sorrows and grief that have come my way. My heart and mind is filled with so much

between the two. The reward of patience(sabr) is praiseworthy and good character;
whereas for impatience there is nothing."THE narrator recites some lines of poetry
before walking away:
In the land of Palestine, a lady strong and true,
Endured hardships and trials, her spirit shining through.
With grace in her eyes and resilience in her heart,
She faced every challenge, never falling apart.
Through tears and pain, she held her head up high,
Her spirit unyielding, reaching for the sky.
Her story a testament of strength and grace,
A symbol of hope in a difficult place.
Though she has suffered, her spirit remains bold,
Her resilience and courage never to be sold.
In her heart, a fire burns, a flame that won't die,
A beacon of light, shining bright in the sky.
May her story be heard, her voice never silenced,
For her journey embodies the strength of resilience.
In the face of adversity, she stands tall,
A lady from Palestine, inspiring us all. ❤️
------------May Allah (SWT) grant us the ability to be patient! Ameen!adapted
