============================

A person's life goes through alternating periods of happiness and dismay, strength and weakness, wealth and poverty, health and sickness, etc. A true believer is one who maintains a clear level of Iman-faith throughout the worldly fluctuation. He continues to remember Allah and ascribe the bounties to Him; and he turns to Him in submission, asking for relief from his affliction.

This is described in a tradition "Indeed amazing are the affairs of a believer ! They are all for his benefit; If he is granted ease of living he is thankful; and this is best for him. And if he is afflicted with a hardship, he perseveres; and this is best for him."

"Certainly, We shall test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits; but give glad tidings to the patient - those who, when afflicted with calamity say, "Truly to Allah we belong, and truly to Him shall we return." it is those who will be awarded blessings and mercy from their Lord; and it is those who are the guided ones." [2:155-157]

Holy saying of Allah‘ Oh Son of Adam if you are patient and sacrificed for Allah's reward when you receive the first shock of an affliction I wouldn't accept less than Paradise for you as a reward for you.

So a believer needs to display patience and submission during sickness and hardships, hunger, or other afflictions. And shows gratitude and thankfulness for all the wonderful blessings that Allah grants him.

Prophet Ayoub (Job) told his wife when she asked him to ask Allah for a relief from his sickness, I'm shy from my God to ask him because I haven't spent in this difficult situation except a short time if compared to the time I was in good.


Hardships Benefit the Believer
Allah has decreed that, in this life, hardships and disasters strike both believers and non-believers. For a non-believer, they are inconveniences that hinder him from proceeding with his normal involvement in the worldly life.

For a believer, on the other hand, they are instances of rest and remembrance, tests that promise great rewards, and indications of atonement and expiation/pardoning of sins. Regardless of how little is the harm that strikes a believer, it carries with it good news of forgiveness and elevated rank in heaven. The righteous predecessors used to be pleased when a hardship afflicted them, seeing it as a token of Allah's forgiveness and benevolence.

Verily with every difficult situation there is a relief. 94:6

Reward of Sins and Sign of Allah's Love
Some traditions say ‘Hardships continue to befall a believing man and woman in their body, family, and property, until they meet Allah burdened with no sins.'

The amount of reward is in accordance with the amount of suffering. When Allah loves some people, He tries them with affliction. He who then is content with Allah's decree has achieved the acceptance of Allah, and he who is dissatisfied (with Allah's decree) will attain the anger of Allah. Whenever Allah wills good for a person, He subjects him to adversity.

Tradition “The parable of a believer is that of a fresh and moist plant; the wind tilts it this way and that way; and so is the believer; he continues to be subject to affliction. And the parable of a hypocrite is that of a firm cedar tree; it does not shake - until it is uprooted all at once."

Trial:
Trial is not disliked in itself but the result of it is disliked. If one is patient and tolerant under trial then he succeeded in this trial. This is what's liked in Trials. Allah almighty knows all our characteristics before he put us under Trials but these tests are for people to test and take example from one another.

Now, as for man, when his Lord trials him, giving him honours and gifts, then he says, (puffed up), "My Lord has honoured me. "But when he trials him, restricting his subsistence for him, then he says (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!" 89:15-16

what are Allah's blessings
Blessing wouldn't be considered an honouring from Allah to His servant unless Allah gives him the ability to behave wisely in it. Allah's right in the blessing is for us to praise Him for it.

Affliction are by Ranks of Righteousness
The prophets and righteous people are afflicted the most, and their rewards are the highest. Tradition "The most in their suffering among the people are the prophets, then the best, then the (next) best, one is afflicted in accordance with his Deen- religion . If his deen- religion is firm his affliction is hard, and if his deen- religion is weak, his affliction is light. Indeed, one would be so much subjected to adversity until he walks among the people without any sins."

Tradition "When Allah wills good for a servant of His, He speeds up his punishment in this life; and when He wills retribution for a servant of His, He holds his sins for Him to judge him by them on the Day of Resurrection."


Two Kinds of trials:
Trial that servants have no hand in them and Trial that the servants have hands in them. We have tried them with both prosperity and adversity: in order that they might turn (to Us). 7:168

Who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return" 2:156

The reasons that lead for being tolerant when hardships happen:
1. To believe it is from Allah and people have nothing to do with it. Now await in patience the Command of they Lord: for verily the art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of they Lord the while thou stands forth. 52:48

2. To lean on Allah and return things to Him.

And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion. 56:3

Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. To Us must ye return. 21:35

3. To know that Allah chose you for this test. Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" ‘For Allah is with those who are patient.'

4. Allah's knowledge of your conditions.

5. To know that it's given from Allah.

6. Allah after testing you with hardships would ease them on you because you would return to Him with prayers and asking.

Tradition ‘If some body faced difficulties in life let him say - we are for Allah and to him we will return. In you I content myself in this difficulty, oh Allah give me refuge from it and replace me better than it.'

7. Patience inherit satisfaction.

8. To feel closeness to Allah at times of hardship.

‘Or, who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed! 27:62

9. To know that you have gained good rewards for this patience.

10. To know that comfort and ease come along with hardships and difficulties.


‘Verily with every difficult situation there is a relief.' 94:6

In fact only through affliction are ranks distinguished and their stations determined and everyone is in Levels or Ranks, and it is by those levels or ranks of understanding do we react to the hardship that befalls us.

What does this mean: ranks distinguished and their stations determined.

But many of us just complain and whine which can amount to lack of Iman-faith. As the Essentials of iman ( Iman Mufassal) are seven (7) basic Islamic faith not believing in one of these essentials and a person remains outside the fold of Islam.

Iman Mufassal:
amantu bil-lahi wa mala'ikatihi wa kutubihi wa rusulihi walyaukil-akhir' wal-qadri khairihi wa shar-rihi minal-lahi ta'ala wal-ba'thi, ba'dal-maut.
(I affirm my faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the day of judgment, in that the fate good and bad is predetermined by Allah and in coming to life after death (resurrection).

Taking ‘wal-qadri khairihi wa shar-rihi= the fate good and bad is predetermined by Allah.’ So we are told that part of our iman=faith is to accept the good and the bad which are already predetermined by Allah and that ‘..We test you by evil and by good by way of trial...’ 21:35.

So why do we whine so much, this is simply a lack of Adaab-manners and Iman on our part, when we should be in rejoicing that Allah is testing us (why be happy, because our sins are be purged away preparing us to be even closer to entering Jannah) and Allah is opening our spiritual maqam-station. And explains the meaning of ‘ranks distinguished and their stations determined’.

But for the complainers they get no such reward just pains and fall into depression and even their good actions can be taken away from them, when such times demands we do ibaadah and taste the sweetest of dua and humility.

Why can our goods actions be taken, because fighting with Qadr=destiny is Allah, the question we ask is who knows better us or Allah. Islam does not mean peace but to surrender to accept. We must accept there is Wisdom in hardships that came our way and need to understand it all good even the bad that happens is all good as it all comes form Allah as a source of his Mercy and sometimes is a form to cleanse us of our bad actions.

I can only end with this verse;
And be patient in hardship:
for, verily, God is with those who are patient in hardship.
Al-Anfal 8:46

Thus If a servant understands these matters then he would be the most patient. And one of Allah's 99 names is As-Sabur O Patience.

Ya Saburu -O Patience one!-relief from troubles or confusion, to be read 3000 times ! -see note at bottom


If you are completely perplexed and in straits,
have patience, for patience is the key to joy.
Rumi, Mathnawi



=======================================
Ya Saburu -Sufic commentary of as-Sabur From The Most Beautiful Names of Allah meaning:
The Patiently- Enduring, The Most Restrained, The Long-Suffering –which is nothing

The One who is most patient, steadfast, and enduring. The One who is not moved by haste to carry out any action before it's proper time.

The One who patiently endures and does everything in its proper time and proper manner, no matter how long that may take.

The One who patiently accomplishes each thing in its proper time, in the way it needs to be and according to what it requires.

From the root s -b-r which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to be patient, to be enduring
to endure trial or affliction with good manner
to be contented in trial or affliction without show of complaint
to make no distinction between comfort and affliction
to bear calmly, to persevere cheerfully
to be steadfast, constant
to restrain, confine, restrain, withhold from something

Mankind's share of this attribute is the bountiful reward bestowed upon those who patiently persevere in overcoming the trials, lusts and errors of this world.

Sheikh Tosun Bayrak writes of al-Sabur:
The meaning of Islam is submission; to forego one's appetites, desires and will in the favor of the will of Allâh. To be able to submit, one has to be patient. In Islam, patience is a sign of faith...

Related names:
Halîm is the patience that arises from a sense of deep serenity, lenience, calm deliberation.
Sabur is the patience that arises by self-restraint, enduring something without complaint.

Seventeen Benefits of Tribulations of Sultani Uleman (Sultan of the Scholars) Izzuddin Abdul Aziz ibn Abdus Salam translation by Hamza Yusuf

Sultani Uleman (Sultan of the Scholars) Izzuddin Abdul Aziz ibn Abdus Salam was an Egyptian scholar who died in 660 AH. He was perhaps the only scholar that mastered both the maliki and hanifi madhabs.

The 17 benefits of tribulation are listed below:
1. You realize the power of Lordship over you.

2. You realize your object servanthood and your complete state of resignation and brokenness before the will and power of God.

3. Sincerity to God, one has no place of return in putting off or defending against the calamity except to Him. It makes you sincere because the muhsin is the one who call on God without any skirk. A moment of ikhlas in this world is enough to save a person.

4. He returns to God and suddenly is fervent in his desire of his Lord.

5. It leads to a humbled state before God and it leads to prayers (du’a), that you call on God.

6. You’re forbearing towards the One who has afflicted you.

7. You forgive the one who has wronged you.

8. To be patient during the tribulation.

9. To be happy about what’s happening because of those benefits.

10. To be grateful for it.

11. Purification that these calamities have towards peoples’ wrongs and sins.

12. Compassion that God enables you to show to people who are in tribulation and to help them.

13. Tribulation gives you the blessing of having true knowledge of the extent of well-being.

14. God has prepared rewards for the calamities that you’ve beared patiently or with contentment.

15. What is hidden inside the folds of these calamities are blessings.

16. Tribulations prevent you from arrogance.

17. Contentment. Tribulation afflect the good and the evil (people), whoever doesn’t like it, its on Him, he’s lost the dunya and the akhira. Those who are pleased with it, its because he knows it, because paradise is better than anything in this world and if these tribulations are what it takes for him to get to paradise, then he’s content with it.

Synopsis: We will all face trials and tribulations in our lives. The benefits of the test is not always the end-result but what happens in between. May our trials remove sins and make our journey to Jannah easier. May we be fortunate to face those trials in this life, Inshallah. May we come out of our trials with gratitude, humility, knowledge, sincerity and contentment, Inshallah. Ameen!

4.16. TURNING TO GOD WHEN EXPERIENCING A TRIAL
270 Another part of that is returning to God when experiencing trial (fitnah). God loves every repentant tested person. That is what the Messenger of God (pbuh) said. God Almighty said, "He created death and life to test which of you is best in action" (67:2). Affliction and testing have the same meaning. It is only a trial to test what a man claims. "It is only a trial (i.e. a test) by which You misguided those You willed (i.e. confused them) putting and guided those You willed (i.e. make the path of salvation clear to them in it)" (7:155).

271 The greatest trials are: women, wealth, children, and ambition. When God tests one of His servants by these four or by one of them, and he takes the position of the Truth in them in establishing them for God and returning to Him in them, and does not stop by the blessing itself, but accepts it as a divine blessing, then God blesses } him through it. So he returns it to Him and sets it upon the position of the due thankfulness which God commanded His Prophet Moses to J have. He said, "Moses, thank me with due thankfulness." Moses said, "0 Lord, what is due thankfulness?" He said, "Moses, when you see that the blessing is from me, that is due thankfulness." Ibn Majah mentioned it in his Sunan from the Messenger of God (pbuh).

272 When God forgave His Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) his former and later wrong actions, He gave him the good news of that when He I said, "So that God may forgive you your earlier errors and any later I ones" (48:2). So the Prophet stood until his feet were swollen to thank I God Almighty for that. He did not stop nor incline to rest. When he ;was asked about that and asked to be kind to himself he, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, "Am I not a grateful servant?”

273 That is because He heard God say, "God loves the grateful If he had not been in the station of gratitude to the Blesser, he would miss this love from God (which is particular to this station, only obtained from God by someone who is thankful). God says, Very few of My servants are thankful- (34:13). If he misses it, he misses what it contains of knowledge of God, Self-disclosure, and the blessing particular to it in the Abode of Honour and the Slipping Heap of the Vision on the Day of the Immense Visit. Every Divine Love possesses its own particular quality of knowledge, Self-disclosure, blessing and stage. That must be why the one with that quality is distinct from others.


4.27. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LOSSES

334 Do not worry about losses which God causes to your property and those of your family dear to you, which are customarily termed calamity and loss. Say, "We belong to God and to Him we return" when that happens to you. Say as Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "No affliction befell me but that I saw that God gave me three blessings in it. One blessing is that it was not a disaster to my faith. The second blessing is that it was not a greater one and so by it God averted a greater one. The third blessing is what God includes in it of the expiation we are commanded for our evil actions."

335 Know that in this world the believer experiences many losses because God desires to purify him so that he will meet Him pure and purified of the filth of acts of opposition committed in this world in which God has written that he must reside. The believer continues to suffer loss in his states in general. It is established by the Messenger of God (pbuh) in, "The metaphor of the believer is that of a fresh tender plant. No matter which direction the wind comes from, it bends and when the wind stops, it stands straight again until it is blown away."

The Moment
"The Moment" (waqt) is an expression for your state in time. The state does not attach itself to the past or the future. It is an existent between two non-existents. And if your Moment is the wellspring of your state, you are the son of your Moment, and your Moment determines what you are, because it is existent and you are nonexistent, you are illusory and it is affirmed. If your Moment is obedience, and the contemplation proper to servitude in every state, then you are one of the enduring. And if it is the opposite of that, then you are one of the ephemeral.

In the first case your Moment is closeness, and in the second case it is distance: In any case, the Moment will inevitably give you its experience. If your Moment is closeness, your experience is from the Presence of closeness; and if your moment is distance, your experience is from the Presence of distance. And whoever mourns over the past and fills the present moment with the past, he is one of those made distant. For he lets slip by what the current state demands, engrossed in what will not return.This is the essence of non-existence. And whoever occupies himself with the future is in the same state .

...And whoever mourns over the past and fills the present moment with the past, he is one of those made distant.
simply stop crying over split milk, as the saying goes.
For he lets slip by what the current state demands, engrossed in what will not return.
you can't get the milk back so stop wasting time with Moaning and whine and get no with the business of what needs to be done now.!

This is the essence of non-existence. And whoever occupies himself with the future is in the same state.

Stop thinking about the what is going to happen tomorrow, it hasn't happen yet and agin more time is wasted, when that time should be the business of doing dua's and asking for Allahs Mercy and help/. See below for Duas that really should be read and as a Wird-daily practice when is loss and troubled with worries and problems..
