It is an amazing advice by the great scholar, Ibn Al-Qayyim...
"A friend will not (literally) share your struggles, and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf...so look after yourself, protect it, nurture it...and don't give life's events more than what they are really worth...Be certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination...your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility...Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious...if your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high...and if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won't harm you.
Do not carry the worries of this life... because this is for Allah...and do not carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah...and do not carry the anxiety for the future because it is in the Hands of Allah...
Carry one thing: How to Please Allah. Because if you please Him, He Pleases you, fulfils you and enriches you. Do not weep from a life that made your heart weep...just say "oh Allah...compensate me with good in this life and the hereafter".
Sadness departs with a sajdah...happiness comes with a sincere du'a...Allah Does Not forget the good you do...nor Does He Forget the good you did to others and the pain you relieved them from...Nor Will He Forget the eye which was about to cry but you made it laugh...
Live your life with this principle: Be good even if you don't receive good...not because of other's sake but because Allah Loves the good doers".
Subhanallah
Greetings and peace be with you jameelash; and thanks for sharing,
I think the most we can do is to pray for the wisdom, strength and guidance to do the will of God, and to give thanks in bad times as well as good times.

May Allaah subhanahu wa ta'ala allow us to bear our trials with patience and taqwa. Ameen.
Hasn't Allah mentioned that he made woman and men different from each other. So the in effect the rules and regulations for both sex are different. So my point the way woman are suppose to treat me is different to how men are suppose to treat women. Laid out in the sunnah of prophet muhammad(pbuh). Islam done not condone beating wife. I suggest non-muslims on this forum do not unearth the word of Allah (Quran) all by themselves as they are not scholars and they way the book is written and how to make sense of it needs a type of understanding which is only sought by scholars of islam.
