The pain which you feel cannot be cured by grieving over it;
it can only be cured by knowing the reason behind this calamity.
Once you know the reason behind your calamity, I am sure your pain will fade away and you will find peace within difficulty. In shaa Allah.
Know the reason behind your Calamity.
At the time of Hardship, It’s man’s nature to be impatient but when he [true believer] knows the reason behind the hardship. He begins to display patience.
Patience is the best remedy for every trouble, if you had patience you would not be in trouble. Because patience helps us to stay positive in difficult situation and makes our life more easy and beautiful.
If you want to make your life beautiful, learn to be patient.
Remember! if you don't learn how to be patient, the pain will continue.
For this, Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said; ...Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience."
[Sahih al-Bukhari 1469]
What is the reason behind the Calamity ?
The answer is very simple and easy, Test. A test from Allah SWT, because the life of this world nothing but a Test.
Why does Allah test us? Test to check the quality of the faith and patience in you. In this test if you pass you will win the pleasure of Allah and achieve the highest rank in Jannah.
If you fail, you are the big loser; you will lose paradise as well as pleasure of Allah SWT.
Be careful about the test of Allah SWT and
don't lose this opportunity to get closer to Allah SWT.

Mere ustad kehte theh ke khush haal zindagi ke sirf 3 usool hain.
1) Apne zindagi ke maqsad ko Janlena.
2) Apne oper aane wali musibat ki wajah ko samajlena.
3) Is musibat pe, sabar karne per, akhirat mein Allah swt ki taraf se jo umdah reward [paradise] milne wali hai us per pakka yaqeen rakha.
To Allah SWT us insaan ko dunya ke har ranj o gham se azaad kardete hain.
Aur Jo Insaan
1) Apne zindagi ke maqsad ko jaan Na saka.
2) Apne oper aane wali musibat ke wajah ko samaj Na saka.
3) Aur agar Akhirat per bhi iska Iman kamzoor raha.
To wo insaan dunya ki choti si choti takleef ko bhi bardasht kar nahi pata.
Kyunke ye naam ka musalman hai.
Naam ka musalman hoon main, Isliye pareshan hoon main.
Fate
Whatever happens in your life, it is already written. If anyone who is struggling or suffering clearly knows that, this is the decree from Allah.
It’s mandatory to believe in the decree of Allah SWT,
as it is one of the six articles of faith.
If you do not believe in fate, you will not be a Muslim. Allah knows the best.
Fate is the belief that whatever happens is preordained for you from Allah SWT.
My life may not be going the way I planned it, but it is going exactly the way Allah planned.
We plan many things, but in the end, life follows the script written by Allah.
Realizing that everything goes as He (Allah) has planned. This will give you peace of mind.
All problems are created by ourselves when we fail to accept that the fate and decree is from Allah.
An umbrella cannot stop the rain, but it allows us to stand in the rain. Faith in fate may not remove our problems, but it gives us strength to overcome them.
The one and only way to stop the pain in our life is to accept the fact that nothing happens without the permission of Allah.
On that day, all your worries will end, the day your faith in fate will be completely fixed.
Accepting that everything goes as He (Allah) has planned, this will give you peace of mind.
When and where will you be born, what will be your color, what will be your height, what will be your status, will you be rich or poor, how intelligent will you be, your spouse, your career, your profit and loss, and your time of death—everything has already been written. Sure, everyone will get what is already written in their fate.
...Allah has already set a destiny for everything. (Quran 65:3)
...All is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record. [Quran 11 : 6]
What Allah SWT has written in my favor is the best. Indeed, we accept what Allah decrees for us.
...You may hate something that is good for you, or love something that is evil for you. God knows, but you do not. [Quran 2:216]
...Allah is the best planner.
[Qran 8 : 30]
Fate and Authority
Some things are within our control, and some things are not.
Whatever you want to do in life, start with positive thoughts. However, if you suffer a loss, do not become depressed.
Rather, understand that this loss is already written in my fate. Allah is my creator and Allah has done what He willed. We should be satisfied with Allah's decision.
A child asked Maulana: If everything is already written in destiny, then why should I wish?
Maulana smiled and said: Maybe on some pages have written, "As you wish.
It is not a good thing to sit on your hands thinking that everything is written in destiny, try and then leave everything to Allah, be happy with whatever decision is made by Allah, And whatever work you do, turn to Allah before doing it, and pray to Allah to grant me success in whatever I am doing.
Anas bin Malik narrated that a man said:
"O Messenger of Allah! Shall I tie it and rely(upon Allah), or leave it loose and rely(upon Allah)?" He said: "Tie it and rely(upon Allah)."
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2517]

Pen
... I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: The first thing Allah created was the pen. He said to it: Write. It asked: What should I write, my Lord? He said: Write what was decreed about everything till the Last Hour comes. Son! I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say : He who dies on something other than this does not belong to me.
[Sunan Abi Dawud 4700]
50,000 Years Prior to Heavens & the Earth
Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
"Allah decreed the measures fifty-thousand years before He created the Heavens and the earth."
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2156]
When the Man was in the Womb of his Mother
Anas b. Malik reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he said:
Allah, the Exlated and Glorious, has appointed an angel as the caretaker of the womb, and he would say: My Lord, it is now a drop of semen; my Lord, It is now a clot of blood; my Lord, it has now become a lump of flesh, and when Allah decides to give it a final shape, the angel says: My Lord, would it be male or female or would he be an evil or a good person? What about his livelihood and his age? And it is all written as he is in the womb of his mother.
[Sahih Muslim 2646]
Everything
...For each and every matter there is a Decree (from Allah). (Quran 13 : 38)
...Allah has already set a destiny for everything. (Quran 65:3)
...All matters are destined by Allah... [Quran 3:154]
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ziyad ibn Sad from Amr ibn Muslim that Tawus al-Yamani said, "I found some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying 'Everything is by decree.' " Tawus added, "I heard Abdullah ibn Umar say that The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. said, 'Everything is by decree - even incapacity and ability,' (or 'ability and incapacity')."
[Book 46, Hadith 4]
...Allah created every soul, so he wrote its life, its provision, and its afflictions.'"...
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2143]
Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation, as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz). (Qur’an 54 : 49)
Adam and Musa
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet(S.A.W) said:
"Adam and Musa argued, Musa said: "O Adam! You are the one that Allah created with His Hand, and blew into you of His Spirit, and you misled the people and caused them to be expelled from Paradise.' So Adam said: 'You are Musa, the one Allah selected with His Speech! Are you blaming me for something I did which Allah had decreed for me, before creating the heavens and the earth?'" He said: " So Adam confuted Musa."
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2134]
Similar Hadith Another Narration.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Adam and Musa argued and Adam got the better of Musa. Musa rebuked Adam, 'You are Adam who led people astray and brought them out of the Garden.' Adam said to him, 'You are Musa to whom Allah gave knowledge of everything and whom he chose above people with His message.' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do you then censure me for a matter which was decreed for me before I was created?' "
[Book 46, Hadith 1]
...then you came according to fate, O Musa! (Qur’an 20 : 40)
Just believe that nothing happened to you by accident.
Just believe that loss or anything not met you by accident, Allah has planned it. Indeed, it happened for a reason; Allah knows the best.
The veil of destiny on Intellect
Sometimes, despite being very careful, we still suffer loss.
Sometimes we suffer loss from the trickiness of tricky people, or we come self or someone’s under pressure or emotional blackmailing, or we lose consciousness, and we face loss.
No matter how careful you are, if this loss is written in your destiny, it will surely happen because it is the decision of Allah.
Just believe, loss not met you by accident, Allah has planned it to test your patience.
When the decree of loss from Allah strikes a person so his eye sees but his mind becomes blind.
The veil of destiny is placed on his Intellect
and he loses all caution, no matter how careful we are, but we suffer great loss.
Everything is destiny and surely we are all helpless in front of destiny.
Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr and others narrated from Ibn `Abbas and others that the hoopoe was an expert who used to show Sulayman where water was if he was out in open land and needed water. The hoopoe would look for water for him in the various strata of the earth, just as a man looks at things on the surface of the earth, and he would know just how far below the surface the water was. When the hoopoe showed him where the water was, Sulayman would command the Jinn to dig in that place until they brought water from the depths of the earth. One day Sulayman went to some open land and checked on the birds, but he could not see the hoopoe.
(and (Sulayman) said: "What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe Or is he among the absentees'') One day `Abdullah bin `Abbas told a similar story, and among the people was a man from the Khawarij whose name was Nafi` bin Al-Azraq, who often used to raise objections to Ibn `Abbas. He said to him, "Stop, O Ibn `Abbas; you will be defeated (in argument) today!'' Ibn `Abbas said: "Why'' Nafi` said: "You are telling us that the hoopoe can see water beneath the ground, but any boy can put seed in a trap and cover the trap with dirt, and the hoopoe will come and take the seed, so the boy can catch him in the trap.'' Ibn `Abbas said, "If it was not for the fact that this man would go and tell others that he had defeated Ibn `Abbas in argument, I would not even answer.'' Then he said to Nafi`:
"Woe to you! When the decree strikes a person, his eyes become blind and he loses all caution.''
Nafi` said: "By Allah I will never dispute with you concerning anything in the Qur'an. ''
It was narrated that Jabir said:
"A man from among the Ansar came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I have a slave girl. Should I do 'Azl (coitus interruptus) with her?' He said 'Whatever is decreed for her shall come to her." He (the Ansari) came to him later on and said: "The slave girl has become pregnant."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Nothing is decreed for a person but it will surely come to pass."
[Sunan Ibn Majah 89]
...When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Both have been destined by Allah.”... [Quran 4:78]
A hadith for fear free life.
Ibn 'Abbas narrated:
"I was behind the Prophet(s.a.w) one day when he said: 'O boy! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah's aid. Know that
if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are dried.'"
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2516]
No one can give benefit or harm except the will of Allah, Allah alone has the power to give blessings and hurt.
If God touches you with harm, there is no one to remove it but Him. And if He intends goodness for you, none can withhold his grace...
[Quran 10 : 107]
Say, “I have no power to benefit or protect myself, except by the Will of Allah... [Quran 7 : 188]
Hamare halath hamare iqtiyar mein nahi hain, yaqeen rakhen jis ke iqtiyar mein hai wo “Ala kulli shayin qadeer hai” [Indeed, Allah has power over all things].
If you are a true believer, this above one hadith is enough to kill your hope and fear in anyone other than Allah.
So please my brothers and sisters in Islam, keep your hope and fear only on Allah, not in people or his creatures.
Indeed true believer does not keep hope or fear other than Allah.
Quran says:
...Of course, nobody can revise or reverse the decisions (and decrees) of Allah!... [Quran 6 : 34]
You can't control over your fate,
if something is written in your fate, surely it will happen, no one can stop it. If something is not written in your fate, surely it will not happen. So please live your life in peace, don't fill your mind with worry and anxiety.
Do not say
Do not say, "If I had not done such and such, it will not happen.
Whatever you want to do in life, start with positive thoughts. However, if you suffer a loss, do not become depressed. Rather, understand that this loss is already written in my fate. Allah is my creator and Allah has done what He willed. We should be satisfied with Allah's decision.
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
...If anything befalls you, do not say, "if only I had done such and such" rather say
"Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha'a fa'ala
(Allah has decreed and whatever he wills, He does)." For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'"
[Sunan Ibn Majah 79]
Alhamdulillah, when I read this hadith, I find peace within the difficulties.
Allah SWT said in the Quran :
Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust. (Qur'an 9 : 51)
Alhamdulillah, our true faith on fate help us to stay with patience when things goes wrong.
True Believer
Jabir bin 'Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
'A slave (of Allah) shall not believe until he believes in Al-Qadar, its good and its bad, such that he knows that what struck him would not have missed him, and that what missed him would not have struck him."
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2144]
'Ali narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
'A slave (of Allah) shall not believe until he believes in four: The testimony of La Ilaha Illallah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah whom He sent with the Truth, and he believes in the death, and he believes in the Resurrection after death, and he believes in Al-Qadar." Another chain reports a similar narration.
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2145, 2145]
If you refuse to believe in fate, your destination is Hell.
Abu Hurairah said:
"Idolaters from the Quraish came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) quarreling about Al-Qadar. So this Ayah was revealed: "The day they will be dragged on their faces into the Fire (it will be said to them): "Taste you the touch of Hell." Verily we have created all things with Qadar.
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2157]
Keep in mind what the Hadith says, if you do not believe in fate, you will burn in hell.
Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
" Six are cursed, being cursed by Allah and by every Prophet that came: The one who adds to Allah's Book, the one who denies Allah's Qadar, the one who rules with tyranny by which he honors whom Allah has debased, and he dishonors whom Allah has honored, and the one who legalizes what Allah forbade, and the one from my family who legalizes what Allah forbade, and the abandoner of my Sunnah."
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2154]
...Abdullah ibn Umar swore by Him (the Lord) (and said): If any one of them (who does not believe in the Divine Decree) had with him gold equal to the bulk of (the mountain) Uhud and spent it (in the way of Allah), Allah would not accept it unless he affirmed his faith in Divine Decree...
(Sahih Muslim 8a)
...you believe in Al-Qadar- all of it-its good and its bad. If you die upon other than this you shall enter the Fire...
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2155]
For those who reject faith and disbelieve, I will punish them with terrible pain in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will not have anyone to help. (Quran 3:56)
Fix faith in fate in your heart for a peaceful life.
Lack of faith in fate lead us to depression. We spend hopeless day and sleepless nights, feeling sad about our problems, but we forget that Allah is the controller of all affairs.
Thinking too much about the problem and put yourself in depression means your faith in fate is weak; that’s why you are suffering. If your faith on fate is strong, you will not bother about the problem; you just understand that, this is the decree from Allah SWT. Through this decree (problem) Allah SWT test us.
Indeed, if you were to know ˹your fate˺ with certainty, ˹you would have acted differently˺. [Quran 102:5]
On that day, all your worries will end, the day your faith in fate will be completely fixed.
Those who have firm faith in fate will definitely live a happy and enjoyable life in this world and also have great success in the hereafter.
And for those whose faith is weak, they will definitely have a painful life in this world and face severe punishment in the Hereafter.
