A believer can be bent, but NEVER broken.

In the midst of it all, the weight of human emotion is undeniable—it's a lot, truly a lot. These tears, each one finding its place, hold no power to diminish the strength of our faith. It's a reminder that even the prophets, including our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), shed tears—intense, genuine tears.

Crying doesn't lessen our iman; it doesn't make us any less believers. Prophets wept to the point where their eyesight was affected, yet their devotion remained unwavering. This vulnerability, these human emotions—anger, sadness, the feeling of being crushed—have their rightful place in our existence.

Lately, the weight of the world, the images, the stories—it's overwhelming. It's okay to feel bent, to carry the heaviness, but remember, a believer can be bent but never broken. In the face of the unimaginable, we find strength in our resilience.

As we witness the hardships around us, the tears shed for the suffering of others, it's a testament to our shared humanity. The journalist's tears, the uncertainty of life, the prolonged struggles—it takes a toll. We're only human, after all.

So, feel what you need to feel, let those tears fall, but remember, you're not broken. In our collective bending, there lies a strength that transcends the struggles.
