Trials and Tribulations on Way



"O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient."~2; 153

"And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah ]"~2;45

"And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides."~4;103

"And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allah - then We are going to give him a great reward."~4;114

"Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful."~2;5


When you are hurt by the people who share blood relations with you, recall Yusuf [alayhi salaam] who was also betrayed by his brothers.

When you find your parents opposing you (in deen) recall Ibraheem [alayhi salaam] who was made to jump into a blazing fire by his father.

When you are mocked and abused by your own relatives just because you adopted deen over duniya, recall Rasul Allah [sallalhu alaihi wa sallam] who faced the same.

When you are stuck into some problem and find no way out recall Yunus [alayhi salaam] who was stuck inside the belly of a whale.

When you fall ill and your whole body cries with pain, recall Ayoob [alayhi salaam] who was more ill than you.

When you see some physical fault in yourself, recall Moosa [alayhi salam] who could not properly speak.

When someone slanders you, recall Ay'esha [radiallahu anha] who was also slandered throughout the city.

When you feel lonely recall how Adam [alayhi salaam] felt when he was created alone at first.
When you can't see any logic in what's going on and your heart asks why this is happening, recall Nooh [alayhi salaam] who built the biggest ship without questioning. 


Subhan Allah! Allah put all those great personalities in trial so that the generations to follow may learn a lesson in patience and perseverance. May Allah swt include us among His patient and grateful servants. Ameen! - Unknown source ♥
