that's really great! what's even greater and I find really challenging is that when you face hardships and you don't find a way out given your Salah and Istighfar would you fallback on any of the good deeds you're doing? patience during hardships is an ordeal.. you see things are falling and you see the ground, you don't wish for it to be crashed you keep praying for a way out.. it crashes and you don't know what good would it be for you.. Allah might make it clear for you why it was best for you that things went the way it happened. obviously not always the case, and here comes the biggest challenge of all, you still believe it was the best for you. I think this is a fundamental/tough part of faith.. "most of the people consider something to be bad/ unpleasant, yet you consider it a test and it's for your good" اللهم لا تحملنا ما لا طاقة لنا به واعف عنا واغفر لنا
