And I make Umm Salamah's dua


Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported, "I heard the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying, 'When a person suffers from a calamity and utters: 'inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. Allahumma ajarni fi musibati, wakhluf li khayran minha (we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. O Allah compensate me in my affliction, recompense my loss and give me something better in exchange for it), then Allah surely compensates him with reward and better substitute."
Umm Salamah (ra) said, "When Abu Salamah (ra) died, I repeated the same supplication as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had commanded me (to do), so Allah bestowed me a better substitute than him."

The clouds will clear

There is a void in the heart that is hard to fill
There is wound in the chest that is difficult to heal.
This pain will end
And these eyes will smile.
The darkest clouds will clear
And the brightest of the days will appear.
