SHIELD

Shields

It would be ideal but no one can absolutely feel what another feels. One cannot truly understand someone else's hurt or pain. Loss is not comparable. Extremes in emotions can be lessend when one has community. Community becomes a shield. They have a mutual respect, resolve and affinity. Salaat is a shield. And Allah alone is the sole divinity. When Allah through the strength of their iman provides them with comfort and solid friends. That too is a shield. In truth with patience and given time all will eventually heal and be fine.
