An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills


Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )


is not merely a proverb, but a reflection of deep life experience and faith. It is a saying shaped by years of human struggle, patience, and understanding. This expression suggests that life is not governed by blind chance; rather, it unfolds according to wisdom and meaning, even when events appear negative at first glance.

At first, people naturally define evil as anything that disrupts their peace: failure, loss, rejection, opposition, or unexpected obstacles. Yet with time, many of these painful moments reveal themselves as turning points. Without certain hardships, a person might remain on the wrong path, never discover inner strength, or fail to grow emotionally and spiritually. Therefore, this proverb is not truly about an “enemy,” but about how we perceive difficulties.

The most important part of the saying lies in the phrase “if God wills.” This emphasizes that good does not arise automatically from suffering, but through divine wisdom. It reminds us that there is a higher order beyond human intentions. Faith in this wisdom gives people the strength to endure hardship and prevents despair from taking over. When one believes this, even in the darkest moments, they search for meaning rather than surrender.

Personal experience often proves that this saying is not an exaggeration. Many people can look back and see how an unwanted event closed one door but opened another far more valuable one. What once felt like pure misfortune later became a blessing in disguise,sometimes greater than anything they had originally hoped for. Such experiences teach us not to rush our judgment of life.

Ultimately, “An enemy may become a cause of good, if God wills” invites us to patience, reflection, and trust. Life does not always move according to our plans, yet it can still lead us toward growth and awareness. Perhaps the greatest gift of this proverb is the peace it offers, the peace of knowing

The Man of a Thousand Faces of the Middle East   Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) An Analysis of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Layered Power Politics in the Contemporary World In the complex and multilayered world of politics, there occasionally emerge figures who cannot be easily confined within conventional definitions, personalities who defy being described with a single word or defined by just one trait. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is undoubtedly one of these figures, a man of a thousand masks, roles, and tactics. He is not merely a politician, but also a master director on the stage of power; he sets the scene, reshapes the roles, and quietly shifts the pieces without seemingly offending anyone. To some, he is the voice of the people and a savior for the poor; to others, he is one of the most cunning political figures of our time. Erdoğan began his political career with a reformist image, close to the religious and populist segments of society. He revitalized the economy, smiled at the ...

Trump’s Divisive Projects in the Middle East

Trump’s Divisive Projects in the Middle East . Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )  The Turkey, Azerbaijan Border Solidarity: Trump’s Game and Its Victims . The Entire Middle East  In recent years, a project known as the “Turkey, Azerbaijan Border Solidarity” emerged under the shadow of Donald Trump’s policies and his allies in the White House. This initiative was not conceived as a response to the social and political realities of the region, but rather as part of the United States’ geopolitical rivalry with Russia, Iran, and China. Its stated goal was to forge a new alliance to curb the influence of these powers in the region; however, its hidden outcome was the promotion of instability and insecurity. Since 2018, with the escalation of sanctions against Iran and intensified military activity in the Caucasus, Washington increasingly demonstrated its support for Turkey and Azerbaijan. Trump, both openly and behind the scenes, cultivated these two countries as a new counterweig...
