I asked for faith and Allah gave me difficulties; He wanted to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom and Allah gave me problems; He wanted me to seek knowledge.
I asked for prosperity and Allah gave me brains and brawn; He made me able to think and work.
I asked for love and Allah gave me troubled people to help; He showed me the secret to happiness.
I asked for favours and Allah gave me opportunities; the more I gave the more He gave.
I received nothing I wanted...He only gave me everything I needed.

This "troubled soul"... it's not as tormented anymore, thanks to you especially.
