faced in the hereafter are unbearable. Allah forbid! If someone is troubled by thoughts of committing suicide, then she should scare herself by means of the aforementioned warnings, take heed and make the attack of shaytan unsuccessful. No matter what worries there are, she should be an embodiment of patience and contentment against the circumstances.

Remember! In this journey of life, a person does not always remain in the same state. One day brings glad tidings for her whilst another day brings news of grief. Sometimes rain of happiness showers upon her and at other times the storms of calamities and difficulties blow. Sometimes a person herself gets caught up in this storm and at times her home is destroyed. In short, a person constantly confronts calamities and worries.

This is why Islam has instructed us to be patient upon calamities and grateful to Allah Almighty on the occasions of happiness. Allah Almighty places Muslims into trial to forgive their sins and to elevate their ranks. Whoever gains success in being patient upon calamities and trials, she comes under the shade of Allah Almighty’s mercy.

Hence Allah Almighty has said in Para 2, Surah Al Baqarah verse number 155-157:

وَ لَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَیْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَ الْجُوْ عِ وَ نَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْوَالِ وَ الْاَنْفُسِ وَ الثَّمَرٰتِؕ- وَ بَشِّرِ الصّٰبِرِیْنَۙ(۱۵۵) الَّذِیْنَ اِذَاۤ اَصَابَتْهُمْ مُّصِیْبَةٌۙ-قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَ اِنَّاۤ اِلَیْهِ رٰجِعُوْنَؕ(۱۵۶) اُولٰٓىٕكَ عَلَیْهِمْ صَلَوٰتٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةٌ -وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُوْنَ(۱۵۷)

And We will definitely test you with some fear and hunger, and with some deficiency of wealth, lives and fruits, and give glad tidings to those who are patient. (Patient ones are those) that, when they are afflicted with any calamity, they say, ‘We belong to Allah and only to Him we are to return.’ These are the people upon whom are the blessings of their Lord, and mercy; and it is they who are on the (Straight) Path.
