Every person faces difficulties and hardships in life, and in such moments, our reaction reflects our spiritual state. When we hold onto patience and forgiveness, not only do we bring peace to our hearts, but we also draw closer to Allah.

Allah has taught us patience in times of difficulty so that we can face these challenges with peace and wisdom. For those who are patient, Allah has promised countless rewards, and the greatest reward is His closeness. Quran says „Indeed, Allah is with those who are patient” ( Albaqra:153)— this is a great glad tiding that the outcome of patience is always goodness and blessings.

When we accept our hardships as a test from Allah, we affirm our faith in His wisdom and justice. Allah is the best of judges, and we must keep our hearts free from hatred and malice, trusting that He will reward us in the best way.

Praying and seeking help from Allah is a sign of a strong believer, and it makes us strong and peaceful in the face of hardships. May Allah grant all of us hearts that are patient and forgiving. Ameen.
