“And which of the favours of your Lord can you deny.”
Holy Quran. Chapter 55.
Be relevant.
“When you come to the end of the light of all that you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen; there will be something firm to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.” Barbara Winters

— Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
