We Shall Test Yo With Fear

For Those undergoing difficulties, the Prophet (SallAllaahu Alayhi wa Sallaam) guidance in treating afflictions.
And Certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives, and fruits, but give glad tidings to ‘As-Sabirin’ (the Patient ones) Who, when afflicted with calamity, say ‘Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’oon’.

“Truly! To Allah, we belong and, truly, to Him, we shall return”. They are those on whom are the ‘Salawat’ (Blessings) from their Lord, and they are those who receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones. (Source: Quran Surat Al-Baqarah 2:  A #155-157) Then Ibn Al-Qayyim (Allah be pleased with him) mentioned the ‘Hadeeth’ of ‘Al-Istirja‘ and said: This expression is one of the most effective, and most beneficial treatments for one who is afflicted by calamities because it contains, two fundamental principles, which is they are realized, the slave will be consoled thereby from his calamity. The first of them is that the Slave and his wealth belong to ALLAH, and he has given it to him as a loan. The second of them is that the return is to ALLAH, and it is inevitable that he will leave the life of this world behind; So, if this is his beginning and his end, then his thinking about them is one of the greatest treatments for this illness and a part of his treatment is that he knows that what was ordained to afflict him cannot miss him and what was ordained to miss him cannot afflict him. And a part of it is that his Lord has set aside for him the like of that which he missed or better, and he has stored up for him that which is many times better than the calamity and that if he willed, he could have made the calamity greater than it was.
‘Subhan Allah’. ‘Alhamdullilah’
