Indeed, Allah reminds us that many people before us have suffered and had their faith tested; so too will we be tried and tested in this life.

3 3 FEATURED ARTICLE During times of deep trial, despair, and sadness, Muslims seek comfort and guidance in the words of Allah in the Quran. Allah reminds us that all people will be tried and tested in life, and calls upon Muslims to bear these trials with patient perseverance and prayer. Indeed, Allah reminds us that many people before us have suffered and had their faith tested; so too will we be tried and tested in this life. There are dozens upon dozens of verses that remind Muslims to be patient and trust in Allah during these times of trial. Among them: Seek Allah s help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humble. (2:45) Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer, for God is with those who patiently persevere. (2:153) Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return. They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance. (2: ) Oh you who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy. Vie in such perseverance, strengthen each other, and be Patience, Perseverance, and Prayer pious, that you may prosper. (3:200) And be steadfast in patience, for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish. (11:115) Be patient, for your patience is with the help of Allah. (16:127) Patiently, then, persevere - for the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your faults, and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning. (40:55) No one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint, none but persons of the greatest good fortune. (41:35) Verily man is in loss, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and join together in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy. (103:2-3) As Muslims, we should not let our emotions get the better of us. It is certainly difficult for a person to look at the tragedies of the world today and not feel helpless and sad. But believers are called to put their trust in their Lord, and not to fall into despair or hopelessness. We must continue to do what Allah has called us to do: put our trust in Him, perform good deeds, and stand as witnesses for justice and truth. It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West. But it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day, And the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; To spend of your substance, out of love for Him, For your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; To be steadfast in prayer And give in charity; To fulfill the contracts which you have made; And to be firm and patient, in pain and adversity And throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing. Qur an 2:177 Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. Qur an 94:5-6
