˹Jesus˺ declared, “I am truly a servant of Allah (God). He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet.

He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live,

and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant.

Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised back to life!”

Al-Qur’an, Chapter 19, Verses 30 to 33

Our problems won’t disappear because we are believers in Allah (God). But our faith gives us the strength to cope with the terrors that come our way.
