The pains of this world are like dreams or like a passing shadow. If you laugh a little you will weep a lot, and if you are happy for a day you will be miserable for a lifetime, and if you have what you want for a little while, you will be deprived for a long time. There is no day of happiness but it is followed by a day of pain. * Ibn Mas’ood (رضي الله عنها) said: 'For every moment of joy there is a moment of sorrow, and no house is filled with joy but it will be filled with sorrow. And Ibn Sireen said: There is never any laughter but there comes weeping after it.' * It should be noted that panicking will not make the calamity go away, and in fact it makes it worse. Panicking makes one’s enemy rejoice and makes one’s friend feel sad; it makes Allaah angry and makes the shaytaan happy; it destroys reward and weakens resolve. If he/she is patient, seeks reward, strives to please Allaah (ﷻ), to make his friend happy and to make his enemy sad, and seeks to relieve his/her brother/sister their burdens and to console them before they console him/her, this is Steadfastness and a sign of Perfection (Ihsan). * Missing out on the reward for patience and Surrender, which is Mercy and Guidance that Allah (ﷻ) has Granted as the reward for Patience and turning to Him (by saying Inna Lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon (Verily to Allah we belong and unto Him is our return'), is worse than the calamity itself. * What comes after being patient and seeking reward is pleasure and joy that is many times greater than what could have gotten from keeping what is lost. * Sufficient for him is the “house of praise” that will be built for him in Paradise (In Shaa Allaah) as a reward for his/her praising their Lord and turning to Him (by saying Inna Lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon ('Verily to Allah we belong and unto Him is our return') * So let him think hard which of the two calamities is greater: a calamity in this world, or the calamity of missing out on the house of praise in eternal Paradise.
