So, with the Help of Allah, the most Helpful, may we preserve patiently during our trials and tribulations. For Indeed Allah, Most Merciful,
Most Wise, is with those who are patient; 'O ye who believe! Seek help with patience and perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with
those who patiently persevere' (2:153) 'And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and
fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient ones, Who, when afflicted with calamity say: 'Verily to Allah we belong and verily, to
Him we shall return.' They are those on whom are the ones who are blessed and will be forgiven from their Lord, and (they are
those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are they guided-ones.' (2:155-157)
'Cast away the troubles that come upon you, with fortitude and patience. Make yourself accustomed to perseverance and
patience, for how blessed is the patient creature. - Imam Ali (AS)
'Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life' (James
1:12)
And Surely, if we put our trust on our Lord, he will not forsake us. And He (SWT) will never place any burden on the soul of one of his servants
which is beyond its ability to bear. 'On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear; before Us is a record which clearly
shows the truth; they will never be wronged.' (23:62) 'And those who believe and do good - We do not impose upon any of them a
burden beyond his capacity' (7:42)
And we must know with every trial and affliction placed upon us, Our Merciful Creator will always secure for His (SWT) servants a way out. No
testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength,
but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13) 'And those who
fear Allah, He prepares a way out.' (65:2)
’A servant will never experience faith until he knows that that which befalls him does not do so in order to make him fail, nor is
his failure meant as a tribulation for him, and that the one who causes benefit and harm is Allah, Mighty and Exalted.' - Imam
Ja'afar al-Sadiq (AS)
May Allah, Most Merciful Most High, grant us success in conquering the difficulties thrown in our path by faith and patience. For Indeed, the
divine help comes with patience - 'Then surely with hardship comes ease. Surely with hardship comes ease.' (94:6)
'Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.' (Psalm 34:19)
May Allah (SWT) be of comfort to us all during our trials and tribulations, and May we all be steadfast and grasp hold of our Lord. For surely,
Allah (SWT) is with us, if we are with Him. '… And He is with you wherever you are ... '(57:4).
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
(Deuteronomy 31:8)
