Adversity Quote by Frithjof Schuon

“Trials there must be upon this earth. We are made of a stuff that easily corrupts when nothing calls to order, when a sign from the Lord does not reach us soon enough. Do not complain that destiny has rent your soul; For God knows best what will help us.” quote by Frithjof Schuon — Download Open image

What…

Islam is the perspective of “omnipresence” (“God…
