The Prophet ﷺ once said:
"Allah laughs at the despair of His slaves, although He soon changes it."
When you feel hopeless, when you believe nothing will change, when you have resigned yourself to failure - Allah sees it, and there is something almost intimate in His response. He laughs. Not in mockery, but in knowledge of what comes next.
Abu Razin رضي الله عنه understood this immediately. He said, "We shall never be deprived of good by a Lord Who laughs." Because a Lord who laughs at your despair is a Lord who knows a different ending than the one you imagine.
