Does a rose stop being a rose when it is no longer admired?

Does a rose stop being a rose when it is no longer admired? No, it remains a red rose. Does a rose stop being a rose when someone says they prefer lilies? No, it remains a rose. Does a rose stop being a rose when someone calls it by another name? No, it remains a rose. Likewise, your worth isn't based on the objective truth of who you are. That is, your worth is determined by how Allah sees you, not by anyone else.

Patience💕 Sabr🥀

Patience does not mean to passively endure. It means to be farsighted enough to trust the end result of a process. What does Patience mean? It means to look at the thorn & see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be so shortsighted as to not be able to see the outcome. The lovers of God never run out of Patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full. ~Shamz Tabriz
