"O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient."
Surah Baqarah Ayah 153

Whenever we are faced with difficulties we must use the advice Allah has given us. He has told us there is a 2 part solution to overcoming any fitnah. First, we must change our attitude and realize that it is a test from Allah and accept it completely. We must accept that there is some good in it and that an immense amount of spiritual development can come out of it. Second, we must increase our salah, praying not only the fard but doing the sunnah, doing nafl, doing tahajjud, and doing them on time with the best of khushu. If we follow this advice then there is no doubt that Allah will help us overcome our difficulty and come out of it even closer to Him than when we started.
