# When you are hurt by the people who share blood relations with you ,
recall Yousuf عليه الصلاة والسلام who was also betrayed by his brothers.
# When you find your parents opposing you (in deen),
recall Ibrahim عليه الصلاة والسلام who was opposed by his own father.
# When you are mocked and abused by your own relatives just because you adopted deen over dunya,
recall Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم who faced the same.
# When you are stuck in some problem and find no way out,
recall Yunus عليه الصلاة والسلام who was stuck in the fish's stomach.
# When you fall ill and your whole body cries with pain,
recall Ayub عليه الصلاة والسلام who was more ill than you can ever be.
# When you see some physical fault in yourself,
recall Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام who couldn't speak properly.
# When you feel lonely,
recall how Adam عليه الصلاة والسلام felt when he was sent to this earth alone, before he eventually met his wife Hawwa.
# When you can't see any logic in what's going on and your heart asks why is this happening,
recall Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام who made the biggest ship without questioning.

Allah put all those great personalities in trials so that some day someone like you and me ,if faced by any calamity, wouldn't question "WHY ME?"
"For Asiya, that’s how it was. It was her relationship with her Creator. It wasn’t her relationship with the tyrannical person that she happened to live with or by her circumstances. In the story of Asiya is an everlasting example of a woman who chose the Hereafter over all of the glitter of this world. It is the story of a woman whose love of Allah and the home with Him was greater. It is the story of a woman whose faith inspired her to take on the greatest tyrant of all time. And to give her life in the process." - Yasmin Mogahed
