Dear Islamic brothers! Successful is only he who leads a life with Iman [faith] and die on Iman. Satan keeps trying persistently to snatch a person’s Iman away. We shall observe patience upon a calamity and always remain content upon the Will of Allah Almighty.

Whosoever Allah Almighty wills, He may enter them into Paradise without accountability and whosoever He Almighty wills, He may make them face trial and reward them immensely by giving them the ability to observe patience over their trial.

An accomplished believer is only he who remains thankful to Allah Almighty in every state. Unfortunate is the one who objects Allah Almighty falling prey to calamities and hands himself over to the Hellfire forever. Every Muslim shall remain prepared to face test. Allah Almighty says in part 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse no. 214:

اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَمَّا یَاْتِكُمْ مَّثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْؕ-

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Are you under the impression that you will enter Paradise whereas the situation (of suffering), which came upon those before you. (Part 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 214)

Under this verse, Sadr-ul-Afadil, ‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid Mufti Muhammad Naeem-ud-Deen Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: ‘This verse was revealed in relation to the battle of Ahzaab where Muslims faced severe hardships of cold, hunger, etc. They were instructed to observe patience in these conditions. Moreover, they were told that observing patience over difficulties in the Divine path has been an ancient practice of Allah-loving people. Moreover, you haven’t even faced the difficulties like those of the past people.’
