“On the Day of Judgment, when the sick and those afflicted with calamities are given their reward, those who were in well-being will wish that, 'If only our skins had been cut with scissors in the world!''^[1] That is, they will wish and desire that 'If only we had suffered such illnesses in the world that our bodies were cut open through operations, so that we too would receive the reward that others who were sick and afflicted are receiving today.'^[2]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Only the one who lives life with faith is successful. Shaytan constantly tries to destroy one’s faith. When a calamity strikes, one should remain patient and content with the will of Allah Almighty in every situation. Allah Almighty admits whomever He wills into boundless Paradise, and whomever He wills to test, may He grant them the ability to be patient, enveloping them with rewards and honours. A perfect believer is one who remains a grateful servant of Allah Almighty in every circumstance. Most unfortunate is the person who, due to calamities, objects to Allah Almighty and thereby consigns himself to Hellfire forever. Every Muslim should be prepared for trials. In Surah al-Baqarah, Chapter 2, verse 214, Allah Almighty states:

اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ  اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّۃَ وَ لَمَّا یَاْتِکُمْ مَّثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِکُمْ ؕ

Do you think that you will enter Paradise even though you have not yet faced the conditions of those who preceded you?^[3]
