A Mother’s Affliction
This book is about destiny, fate, and affliction. Human existence lies between trials and afflictions in this worldly life. Allah Almighty may test a human with blessings to see their thankfulness, or with hardship to see if they will show steadfastness and nobility by obeying Him, or disgrace in rebelling against Him, although there is no way to reach His good pleasure and mercy except through His grace. None can intercede with Him except by His permission and mercy.This book is also about humanity when it comes to different beliefs. Humanity is like a tree: every mother is a branch of its branches, and every child is a leaf of its leaves. It is all one and the same tree from the time of Adam and Eve, peace be upon them, until the last departing human soul. How can leaves growing on the same branch have different beliefs? Can this be God's will? Some will say yes, while others will say no.
