Allah Knows Best

Allah knows what's best for us So why should we complain? We always want the sunshine But He knows there must be rain We always want the laughter And the merriment of cheer But our hearts lose their tenderness If we never shed a tear Allah tests us often With suffering and with sorrow He tests us not to punish us But to help us meet tomorrow For growing trees are strengthened If they withstand the storm And the sharp cut of the chisel Gave the marble grace and form Allah tests us often And for every bit of pain Provided we are patient Is followed by rich gain So whenever we are down And everything is going wrong It is just Allah's way To make our spirit strong
