Fate and the Help of Allah
Via To gain, something of equal value must be lost“Be aware that if the whole of mankind gathered together to do something to help you, they would only be able to do something for you which Allaah had already written for you. Likewise, if the whole of mankind gathered together to harm you, they would only be able to do something to harm you which Allaah had already written to happen to you.”
Reported by ‘Abbaas and collected by at-Tirmithee and authenticated in Saheeh Sunan at-Tirmithee, vol. 2, pp.308-9, no.2043
you know them moments when you look in the mirror and you think holy shit that’s me because for some reason it feels like the person you’re looking at in the mirror is an unfamiliar stranger and you begin thinking about how you’re a person on a planet in a solar system in a galaxy in a universe and for a few minutes you ponder the origin and the meaning of existence and then shrug and return to your computer

Patience & Gratitude during times of Adversity & Blessings
ViaBy Shaykh Abdur-Rahman Sa’di
It is established in the Sahih that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallaam) said,
“Amazing indeed is the affair of the believer, all is good; if he is in times of ease, he shows gratitude and this is good for him; when he is in times of adversity, he is patient and steadfast and this is good for him. This only applies for the believer.” ¹
Gratitude and patience gather together all good and the believer is acquiring this goodness at all times and profiting in all circumstances. In the Sahih it is recorded that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam) said,
“The believer is not afflicted by any concern, worry or harm except that it would be a means for Allaah expiating his sins.” ²
So at times of ease the believer attain two blessings: the blessings of having that time of ease and the blessing of being grateful for it. The latter is the greater blessing. At times of adversity the believer attains three blessings: the expiation of sins, being patient, and the adversity being made easy for him to face. This is because when he knows that he will have his reward with Allaah, the matter becomes easy for him to bear.
