Don't just sit back and start crying and lose hope.

Get up and start working.

Perhaps Allah has unclenched your fist

in order to give you both hands full of sustenance.

You're holding a job with one clenched fist.

Allah says, open it up.

So you've lost the job.

Then Allah says, now bring both hands together.

Get up and let's fill both of them.

Many people who've lost their jobs

and they have been positive about it

have actually come out and gotten better jobs

or open their own businesses that have become bigger

than the entire business wherein they were working.

So remember, don't lose hope in the mercy of Allah.

Believe that Allah has a better plan for you.

And it might take some time, but keep trying.

Keep searching.

Keep looking.

Keep doing whatever you can.

Don't give up.
