Anas Ibn Maalik (radiallaahu anhu) said,
“Every day the earth calls out with nine things, saying:
‘O son of Adam!
You strive on my surface and your destination is my stomach; You disobey [Allaah] on my surface and you will be punished for it in my stomach; You laugh on my surface and you will cry in my stomach; You are happy on my surface and you will be sad in my stomach; You gather wealth on my surface and you will regret gathering it in my stomach; You are arrogant on my surface and you will be humiliated in my stomach; You walk insolently on my surface and you will fall miserably into my stomach; You walk in the light on my surface and you will be in the darkness in my stomach; And you walk with crowds and large gatherings on my surface, and you will be lonely in my stomach.’”
From: Preparing for the Day of Judgement, by Imaam Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalaanee (pp. 41-42)
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.
