In Qur-an 2:155, we find this bit of wisdom, "Verily, we shall put you to test with some fear, and hunger, and with some loss of wealth, lives and offspring. And convey good tidings to those who are patient, who say, when inflicted by hardship, 'Verily we are of God and verily to Him shall we return", upon them is the blessings of Allah and His mercy.
These words reminds us that triabulations being pressed on us are like flowers that give us sunlight to grow. The answer to hardship doesnt lie in wishful thinking, or only dreaming. The answer lies in how we respond to that difficulty when it arises. We have to respond to hardship with positivity and resilience knowing the fact that, we reap rewards later. In Shaa Allah.
