When Allaah loves a believer He tests him/her.
The more pious you are the more trials you face.
If you accept the hardship Allaah sends your way, you win His Pleasure. If you show discontent, you risk the Wrath of Allaah.
“The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allaah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2396) and Ibn Maajah (4031); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
Do not fear the hardship. Fear losing the Pleasure of Allaah.
This world is but a few days. The next is an eternal one. The wise does not despair over that which will go.
To feel hopeless is a major sin. Always have faith in Allaah, obey Him, and He will make a way out for you.
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Certainly no one despairs of Allah’s Mercy, except the people who disbelieve”
[Yoosuf 12:87].
"...And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty)."
[Qur'aan 65:1]
