Sometimes, in this life, one may achieve what one is dreaming about, be it good or bad. Some other times, it happens that, one may have to go through situations that could cause him give up, and he may find this life unfair.. in fact, this life is never fair, that is why there is Hereafter (Akhirah). Times may come that one will find himself bounded within four corners, though at large, not in a cage. These are times where he (man) is been tested, times he has to go through difficulties and challenges. “Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction?” [Surah Al-Ankabout: 2].
Our beloved Prophet, Muhammad, may peace and blessings be upon him at all times, went through difficulties, Prophet Ibrahim also went through difficulties, as well as Ayyub, Isa, Yahya, Musa, Dawud, Zakariyya, Yunus, Yusuf, and the others may peace and blessings be upon them all. No prophet or messenger, unless he has experienced tough times. Mind you; these are the best servants of Allah, High and Exalted is He.
Verily, they are the chosen and honoured servants of Allah, to deliver His messages and guide their people, and yet He tested them, perhaps to make us discover the weakness in man; and to realize that no matter how, man has to struggle in order to achieve success.
No matter who or/and where we are, we have our strengths, but our weaknesses as human beings are always more than our strengths. “…and man has been created weak” [Surah An-Nisa: 28]. If the time comes for us to go through tests and challenges, we are to remember that we are not the only ones who are tested. Our tests no matter how, will still fall behind the tests the Prophets and Messengers of Allah went through. Sincere reflections are needed during such times. ”Did He not find you an orphan and gave you a refuge? And He found you unaware and guided you? And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment)?” [Surah Al-Duha: 6-8].
The best way to deal with our difficulties is to turn to Allah and surrender to His decree. If you wish to de-stress then put forward your complaints to Allah alone. Just as the Prophets turned to Him in their times of need and difficulty. What better example for us? What better way to seek peace and relief except from the Giver of peace and relief Himself?
