Similarly, once I came across one of such ayah, rather I should say one of such Surah which sunk into my heart and became closer to me. Every ayah of the Surah was sinking inside me the way that it was wiping away all the sorrow with happiness and giving me hope from my Lord. Before I tell you which Surah it is, I have to give you a glimpse of my situation back then.

About five years ago, it was a night of Ramadan. My marriage was decided to be held with my cousin for almost a year ago everything was going smooth but there was a problem which was making me worried day by day. Despite having the quality education, my fiance wasn't able to find a decent job for himself. our Wedding was about to be held and both of us were intensely getting worried as the time was passing. That night I heard harsh comments about the job situation from somebody close to me, my heart was shattered in pieces. Sometime before sehri I sat on my praying mat and started crying so much that i might not have cried like that before I said:

"Ya Allah where are You?"

My tears were not stopping and eyes were swelled. After a long time in the same physical state when I got tired I picked up my mobile phone and randomly started looking through the Whatsapp profile photos of my friends, I stopped at a photo that had the translation of an ayah from the Quran, "And the Hereafter is better for you than the first". It immediately came to my mind to search it in the Quran, and when I did that, Surah Ad Duha opened. It has total eleven ayaats and almost every ayah was reflecting my life directly. When I came to its 3rd ayah which says," Your Lord has neither abandon you nor hated you", I immediately recalled that I said while crying that where are you Allah Ta'ala and He answered that He has not forsaken me, I was touched and continued reading, " And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the first", " And your Lord is going to give you and you will be satisfied." I was touched even more, " Did He not find you an orphan and give refuge?" Yes, I lost my mother long ago and He gave me refuge, " And He found you lost and guided? Yes, I was inclined in activities which displeases my Lord but later on He had given me hidayah, " And He found you poor and made (you) self-sufficient." Yes, we were living a life where we could meet basic necessities but afterwards my Lord had expanded our rizq and we were able to live a comfortable life. All of three favors which Allah mentioned were exactly fitting in my life. It was then that I realized my Lord will surely grant me for which I was worried.

This Surah gave me intense hope, made me more nearer to Allah. By the time I had to prepare sehri I was wide smiling, from the face to the heart, completely opposite of the depressed and falling feeling I was going through few minutes before. After this incident I never got hopeless, despite of the fact that he was still getting troubles in getting a better job. We finally got married, I waited for more than two years for my visa to arrive before we started living together as he lives abroad. I always prayed that may Allah grant him a proper job before my visa arrival. I knew that anytime the visa could arrive as it was already late than average but I was still concerned about the job, when he once called to break a great news that he got a decent job in a very well reputed company of the country on a good post. It was unbelievable because that post was created in the office for the first time and was for the person who should already got a five to six years of experience. My Most Merciful and Most Wise Lord had 'created' a post in a famous company which was not initially there, and fulfilled His promise. I also got my visa just after two to three months after that. He had accepted all my prayers and did exactly what He said :
