Have you ever faced a challenge that felt insurmountable? This book sheds a gentle light on enduring adversity. Strength From Within shares the author's experiences with a physical disability resulting in weak muscles from birth, but the hidden strengths discovered when reflecting on the stories of the Prophets. Through lived experience and insights from childhood into adulthood, it explores the guidance found in the stories of the Prophets to redirect our focus, especially during our most difficult times. It is not a self-help manual, but a warm invitation to discover your own resilience and potential by deriving strength from the stories of the Prophets. It allows us to process our emotions during life's difficulties to eventually turn it into an enriched experience. It is a source of encouragement, and a reminder to trust Allah (swt)’s Mercy, just like the chosen examples before us.
