Every person will face tests, big or small – but with firmness of faith and heart and trust in Allah the Almighty, these challenges can be overcome, knowing that His plans are always best for us, said Religious Officer at the Spiritual and Community Service Unit, Student Affairs Section of Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) Pengiran Siti Norainul Fathni binti Pengiran Haji Tajuddin in a tazkirah during the Munajat night on Saturday.

She added, “Great promises have been mentioned by Allah the Almighty in Al-Quran for those who are patient and willing to face trials.”

She added, “As someone who believes in the teachings of Allah the Almighty and the Prophet (pbuh), we should be prepared physically, mentally and spiritually to face challenges.”
