There’s a glass on the table.

But it’s not what you expect.

The liquid doesn’t settle at the bottom.
It rests at the top — calmly, impossibly — as if gravity has stepped aside.
As if something higher is holding it there.

People may look at it and ask: “Is it half full or half empty?”

But those who’ve seen life, who’ve known its silence and storms, don’t ask that question anymore.

They simply whisper:

– Alhamdulillah –

Because they know — this glass is a gift.
Whether filled from the top, the bottom, or barely touched by water at all — it exists only by His will.

Gratitude is Not Measured by Volume

The world is busy debating: “Do I have enough?”
“Am I winning or losing?”
“Do I need more to feel whole?”

But real peace begins the moment you stop measuring.
The moment you look at your portion — however strange, however inverted — and say:

“Thank You, my Lord. This is from You, and that is enough.”

Because He knows exactly how much your glass can hold.
He knows when to fill it, when to let it feel empty, and when to remind you that even in scarcity, there is wisdom.

Against Gravity, With Faith

When your glass is half full from the top, it defies the logic of the world.
It doesn’t follow rules.
It floats in a way science can’t explain — just like the heart of a believer who finds light in darkness, calm in chaos, and gratitude in the unknown.

It says,
“I trust the One who holds my glass. Even when I don’t understand how it’s standing.”

That’s not delusion. That’s faith.
And it’s more powerful than any certainty we try to control.

Your Glass is Not Just Yours

Your gratitude doesn’t stop at your lips.
It echoes. It inspires. It teaches.

When others see you content — not because you have everything, but because you recognize Who gave it — they remember to look up too.

They stop arguing about halves.
They start seeing blessings.

A Final Whisper

So when the world offers you a strange glass — not full, not empty, not logical —
don’t waste time labeling it.

Instead, look at what is, not what isn’t.
And say, from the quiet corners of your soul:

“Even this is a mercy. Even this is a blessing. Even this is enough.”

Because the One who gives… never gives by mistake.
