“Food for the Soul”

Subject:  TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

 

Allah, The Most Exalted, says:

" It is He who created death and life to test you as to which of you are best in deed, and He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.” (Quran : Surat Al-Mulk 67:2)

 

The Noble Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is reported to have said:

 

“Wondrous is the affair of the believer for there is good for him in every matter and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, then he thanks Allah and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, then he shows patience and thus there is good for him.” (Hadith-Sahih Muslim 2999)

 

 

Note: Trials can be a sign that Allah intends good for us, because through trials our sins are expiated and we have the opportunity to perform good deeds as well as reflect on our past. Remember if Allah Ta’ala has taken us TO it…He will most definitely take us THROUGH it! Remember that for every lock Allah Ta’ala has created a key…
