Allah has your back.

In the Quran, we read that Allah is the best of Planners. It is impossible to fully grasp the concept of this because for our prayers to be answered, so many things need to line up that we are completely unaware of. That is the beauty of the "istighfar" prayer for it opens doors we did not even know existed. When you pursue a goal and you fail, don't get too heartbroken because Allah's Plans will not just take you to where you need to go, but they'll get you to where you need to *be*.
