Patience & Inner Peace
Patience is a great virtue which God loves
We all go through times in life when we face difficulties and hardships, some on a small scale, and others on a major scale (like natural disasters).
What should one do in such circumstances?
If for example an earthquake occurs, can we stop it?
The clear answer is no we can't
So the best thing to do is to be patient, and accept that this is God's decree which we can't change. After each hardship comes ease, so there is hope and certainity that after such a difficulty there will come better times
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Patience is at the first shock", meaning that being patient at the initial stage when something difficult happens is the real patience. Trusting that God will make things improve, and submitting to His will gives peace and tranquility to the soul.
This life is only a transition, it is not an eternal life
So be close to Allah under all circumstances, don't panic and be patient
God says: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account" (39:10)
