Affliction ...


Affliction is an adornment for the believer 
And a mark of honour for the man of intellect 

Because facing it directly needs steadfastness and firm-footedness 

Both of which confirm belief


The Prophet (PBUH) said: 

We, the company of the prophets, are the people who have the hardest trials ... 
Then after us come the believers ... Then the others like them ...

God praised none of His bondsmen
From Adam (PBUH) up to Muhammad (PBUH) 
Until He had tested him and seen how he fulfilled the duty of worship 
While in affliction ...
