I entrust you to God...!

I had no room to discuss the start of the academic year, the “trainee teacher” initiative, or other such matters. God willing, we will remain in touch with you remotely, and I pray to Almighty God to set right the condition of the country and its people.

Remember us in your prayers, unseen by all… That is all I ask of you.

I tried to write about the lingering issues but found no space, so I entrust you to God, and God is the Best of Guardians.

Sometimes writing fails to provide the substance we seek, as ideas crowd each other, entangled in numerous connections and preoccupations. Yet ideas remain circling the heart, seeking someone to draw them out, jostling for an outlet.

How many articles have we written here over decades… and how many issues have we discussed that remain unresolved, with no logical explanation for why they haven’t been settled, according to the procedures followed in advanced countries?

Sometimes our options narrow, and some souls feel constrained by permissible criticism… which is natural when matters are entrusted to those unfit for them, and when people stray from their religion’s teachings.

When you fall ill, face a problem, or feel anguish, while witnessing that the management of our institutions falls below the required level, as indicated by performance quality and anti-corruption indicators… say, “Our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” Entrust your affairs to God, rely on Him, for He is the Guardian, the Provider, the Merciful, the All-Forgiving, the Granter of Health.

The point is, every generation comes with its own provision and appointed term, and what God has decreed for it and upon it… So let us think well of God, accept what our loved ones write with open hearts, and maintain good intentions.

I know these are letters jostling without order… I convey them as they are, praying to Almighty God that they find a positive echo among all who read these brief, spontaneous, albeit scattered, sentences.

I hope we reach a stage where decisions are made by an advisory council comprising the elite of experienced, knowledgeable, and wise individuals from our beloved, cherished homeland, far from Western proposals, most of which stem from a culture different from ours, and some of which are crafted to promote foreign agendas that do not wish us well.

We need gentleness and a penetrating gaze toward every head of household who may find himself unable to provide for a decent livelihood. The discussion could go on at length on this point, but we conclude by entrusting you to God, whose trusts are never lost… God is the One whose help is sought.
