THE SILVER LINING:The following question is usually raised in times of hardships and calamities: "Why doesn't Allah answer my prayers?" The answer to it does not come from a mere human being, but--amazingly--from Allah (SWT) when he says: "For indeed, with hardship comes ease." (Qur'an 94:5) "And whoever relies upon Allah--then He is sufficient for him..." (Qur'an 65:3)
