Trials Are a Medicine
“Were it
not that Allah treats His slaves with the remedy of trials and calamities, they
would transgress and overstep the mark. When Allah wills good for His slaves,
He gives him the medicine of calamities and trials according to his situation,
so as to cure him from all fatal illnesses and diseases, until He purifies and
cleanses him, and then makes him qualified for the most honorable position in
this world, which is that of being a true slave of Allah (‘ubudiyyah), and for
the greatest reward in the Hereafter, which is that of seeing Him and being
close to Him.- Ibn Qayyim al Jawzziyah
True!"Whatever misfortune happens to you,is because of the things your hands have wrought,and for many (of them ) He grants forgiveness." (Ash-Shura 42:30). If our sins are forgiven through afflictions and calamities,that will InshaAllah gives us strength and determination to draw closer to Allah(SWT).
