In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 30:54] GOD is the One who created you weak, then granted you after the weakness strength, then substituted after the strength weakness and gray hair. He creates whatever He wills. He is the Omniscient, the Omnipotent.

[Quran 4:28] GOD wishes to lighten your burden, for the human being is created weak.

[Quran 14:27] GOD strengthens those who believe with the proven word, in this life and in the Hereafter. And GOD sends the transgressors astray. Everything is in accordance with GOD's will.


The human being is created weak. God in His mercy can give us strength after weakness. But we must understand that we were created weak and only God can give us strength. While people may appear strong in this worldly life, without God the souls (our true selves) are very weak.

May God provide us all with strength, and help us to support and strengthen each other. May God help us to overcome our weaknesses, and help us to grow our souls and worship Him alone.
