War is never a simple ordeal for anyone involved. Those affected often find themselves stripped of their homes, their children, and their partners. The luxuries of a cozy mattress, soft pillows, and warm blankets are replaced by the harsh realities of survival. Their minds are filled with the constant tension of staying alive, each breath heavy with fear and uncertainty about the future. Hunger becomes a constant companion due to food shortages, and sleep is scarce amidst the insecurity. Clean water becomes a luxury as the supply lines are disrupted. They live shrouded in darkness, as even electricity becomes a distant memory.
If today you find yourself able to embrace and kiss your children and spouse, share a meal with them, and sleep securely in your own home, give thanks to Allah. You have more to be grateful for than you realize. Push your difficulties aside for a moment and take stock of your blessings.
