Sometimes life Feels unbearably heavy, especially when the people we trust the most end up hurting us. But if we look at the story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) in the Quran, we see a reminder that even betrayal From loved ones doesn't define our ending.
Allah says in Surah Yusuf: 'And never give up hope of Allah's mercy. Indeed, no one despairs of relief From Allah except the disbelieving people'. (12:87).
Yusuf (AS) Faced envy, False accusations, and imprisonment, yet he stayed patient and trusted Allah's plan. His patience turned his trials into triumphs, and the heartbreak he endured became the doorway to something Far greater than he could imagine.
It teaches us that worldly pain, however sharp, is temporary, and that Forgiveness and Faith are powerful tools that lead us to peace.
If you are broken, betrayed, or Feeling lost, remember that Allah sees every tear and knows every hardship. He promises in Surah Ash-Sharh:'Indeed, with hardship comes ease' (94:6).
Be like a Flower who give Fragrance even to the hands who crush it means—One should be generous and kind, even to those who harm or "crush" them.
It encourages showing kindness and releasing "Fragrance" (goodness) despite being hurt or "crushed" by the actions of others.
It is a metaphor For Forgiveness and generosity in the Face of adversity. A Flower continues to release its Fragrance even when it is being crushed, and similarly, a person should maintain their positive character and offer kindness despite experiencing pain or mistreatment.
So, the point is that— hold on to patience, Trust in Allah(swt) plans, and let your heart heal knowing that beautiful endings come to those who remain steadfast.
Whoever, despite having the power, does not take revenge on a person who has hurt him and Forgives For the sake of Allah, then such benefactors are beloved to Allah.
May Allah(swt) include us among His beloved servants. (Ameen).
