An Example of Noble Character

WOMEN OF PARADISE In such matters, both parties are advised: “discuss things among yourselves in all decency” (Quran, 65:6). This approach may seem disadvantageous at first, but the Quran reassures: “God will soon bring about ease after hardship” (65:7). This guidance applies not only to divorce but to all conflicts in life. Whenever a dispute arises between a man and a woman over possessions or rights, both should be willing to give as well as take. Even if this seems like a loss, it should be seen as temporary and accepted with faith that God will compensate it, possibly in greater measure, in the future. This teaches us that waiting is a legitimate strategy in this world. The system God has established ensures that every evening is followed by a new morning, and that even evil, when it spreads, gives rise to some good. Even loss is eventually followed by gain as time passes and new opportunities arise. Waiting, therefore, is not simply passive. It is like anticipating dawn after nightfall. It is a sign of hoping from the divine system for what one cannot yet achieve through personal effort. Waiting is not inaction—it is a mental act, a decision grounded in faith and foresight. No one can drag the morning into being—it comes in its own time, and only to those who wait. The harvest a farmer reaps is also a result of waiting. He merely plants the seed; after that, it is nature that performs countless unseen tasks, leading to the eventual fruit. The farmer waits as the soil and sky carry out their processes and finally present him with the harvest.
