* Never *

On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: Allah the Almighty said:

I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me.
If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and
if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an
assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm’s length, I draw
near to him a fathom’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at
speed.

It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).

This is the reason why you should never, ever, lose hope.

Because I believe that as long as one still breathes, he or she still has a chance.

Because if it is God's will, nothing can prevent it.

Because we have no right to judge others.

Because love and understanding work better than fear.

Therefore, we should always renew our faith...in order not to lose it.

Please, God, do not let me lose sight of who You are...and who I am.
