Being grateful Quote by Mufti Ismail Menk
“If those without children complained about it, those with only boys complained about not having girls, those with girls complained about not having boys & those with both complained about how much of a handful they are, then WHO is going to show gratitude & satisfaction with the Divine Decree of the Almighty? Indeed, He chooses, we dont! So lets stop complaining & start being thankful. He knows what is best for us!”
