In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Kind, Calm your heart. Ibn ‘Awn (RA) said: 'In both times of ease and difficulty be content with Allah’s decree, it will decrease your distress and serve you better in your pursuit of the Hereafter. Know that the servant will never attain the reality of contentment until his contentment at times of poverty and tribulation is the same as his contentment at times of affluence and ease. How can you go to Allah to adjudge your affair and then be discontent when you find His ordainment does not accord to your desires?! It is well possible that, were your desire come to fruition, you would be destroyed! When His ordainment accords with your desires, you are content, and both cases arise because of your scant knowledge of the unseen. How can you go to Him for judgment when this is your condition! Yet you have not been fair to yourself and neither have you hit the mark with regards to contentment.' (Page 117 The Legacy of The Prophet Ibn Raj’ab Dar as Sunnah Publications) Think well of Allah. Whilst we cannot control what befalls us we do have the power to control how we face both calamities and ease. Our love and trust upon Allah should always be firm.
