Three weeks on, and you still reach for the phone to call him.
Someone told Zaid that grieving means his faith is weak. Bilal reminds him that the Prophet ﷺ wept over his own son — grief isn't the opposite of patience; it's love with nowhere to go. On loss, the anger inside grief, and "to Allah we belong, and to Him we return."
Referenced: the Prophet ﷺ weeping for Ibrahim (Bukhari); "patience is at the first strike"; inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (2:156); Yaqub's "I complain only to Allah" (12:86).
