The City of Roses

 During the battle of the Tabūk, the Messenger ﷺ💚 told the companions not to consume any water from the 'Fountain of Tabuk' until he arrives. When they arrived they barely found any water at all. Upon the request of the Messenger, they collected the water and the Messenger ﷺ💚 washed his blessed hands and face with whatever was collected and poured it back. The fountain then started to gush such that it was sufficient for the entire army!

This beautiful story reminds us *every week* that one of the most common trials that we, as Muslims, will face is the trial of FAITH. So know, for sure that we will be tested when we *practice* our Deen. But if we are strong in our Imaan just like these
