Wa ‘alaykum assalaam.

It’s important to differentiate between ‘Uqūbah (punishment) and Musībah (calamity), and as a believer, every hardship and calamity is considered good with the condition that he’s patient, and every delightful time is considered good for a believer with the condition that he’s thankful.

Even during the hardest times of your life when you’re almost helpless, if Allāh uses you to support the Dīn, I believe that’s the greatest blessing and dream come true. Scars will remain here and there, but the strength of Īmān outweighs and overcomes all hurtful experiences. If it wasn’t for calamities, we wouldn’t be the same person that we are today, and a sign that Allāh loves you, is that He keeps you steadfast and answers your sincere du’ā, whereas the one who isn’t sincere in private would stumble and fall over, we ask Allāh for well-being and good-health.

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalī رحمه الله stated:

"Some of the righteous people, would keep a piece of paper in their pocket and would open the paper, to look at it every hour and that which was written on the paper was:

'So be patient with your Lord’s decree, for you are truly under Our watchful Eyes.'"

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“For a slave, there is a curtain between him and Allah and a curtain between him and the people, so whoever rips apart the curtain between him and Allah, then Allah will rip apart the curtain which is between him and the people”

‎"Be children of the hereafter and don't be children of the worldly life, for verily the child follows the mother."

from thinking highly of myself

while being insignificant to Him.

إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ صَغِيرًا
