To every one of you who has only recently been tested.
I hope that you do not see this test as a great impenetrable wall that stops light coming through. I pray that each and every one of you will find grappling hooks and ropes to help you climb over this wall, or great steel hammers to help you smash through. If ever you feel that you need a friend to boost you up, remember that many are around, right now probably a bit afraid to help you out for fears of your reactions, but always ready to lend you a hand or two for you to use, if not to provide a place to step on, to pass you a handkerchief.
Maybe He misses your voice calling out to Him? For you should know that God tests those whom He knows can endure it, those whom He loves.
Cry all you want, if you find comfort in it, for there its no shame in crying, but may all those tears turn into beads of spirit to strengthen your heart and soul. Rest and take a look back at the journey, in the spirit of learning and humility. May standing from afar lets you see the whole mountain with its cracks and crevices and helps you take a better way up next time.
Finally, lets all remember these verses in the Quran:
"So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief;
Verily with every difficulty there its relief;
Therefore, when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship;
And to your Lord, turn all your intentions and hopes"
(5-8:94, Al-Quran)
