“After hardship comes ease” — Surah Ash-Sharh (94:6)

The storm always ends, the sun returns to shine, and often what we could not see becomes visible once everything has passed—when the clouds that prevented us from seeing clearly have been swept away by the alchemy of time. Because time is something mysterious, known only to God: capable of making us believe that everything is motionless and that all things follow a predetermined order. But that is not the case.

There is no order as defined by humankind—only transformations, fleeting certainties, and convictions that vanish like a rainbow in a sky that clears only to allow it to appear.

Today I assure you that after every difficulty comes ease. I find it to be one of the most beautiful verses of the Qur’an: it does not promise an easy life, but it guarantees a solution. It is a realistic promise, one that moves hand in hand with time. God is not only a Word, but a Promise—for those who allow their hearts not to harden and let the blood flow freely through its muscle.

When the turbulence ends, a quiet remains that seems infinite, where the garden is finally still and peaceful, and there are no longer open questions or answers, because everything has found a new place within time.

Every flower, every little bird, every tree, every grain of earth and every stone finds a new place after the shock. This is a manifesto of trust: always have faith in everything that happens, and even in what you let fall, because you never know where your movements, your throws, and your inner changes may lead.
