when unpleasant things happen
we shouldn't be worried when unpleasant things happen because they are taking us to Jannah... because the road to Jannah is covered with all unpleasant things and our test is to just keep doing sabr and gladly look forward to a most pleasant end where all these "pains" will appear as meaningless. So the thing to be worried about is our reaction to the unpleasant situations... is it according to Allah's pleasure or not... this is what is important.

This reminds me of the time with the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) visited Ka'ab (r.a) when he was sick and said "abshir - good news" to him as sickness is a means of expiation of our sins on condition that we are patient and thankful. Likewise difficulty and hardship in life an opportunity for us to attain salawat from Allah, His rahma and hidayah :)
