Calamities and tests in life are in reality a wake up call, telling us to change ourselves for the better and to return and humble ourselves to our Creator. But how many of us carry on like nothing ever happened and persist in our heedlessness…

The great scholar, Ibn Muflih (d.763H) رحمه الله said:

 

If it was not for the calamities, the servant would become arrogant and ungrateful and would have transgressed and oppressed. But through calamities Allaah protects him from that and purifies him from his inner impurities. So Glorified and Exalted is He, Who gives mercy through His trials and tests (the servants) with His bounties.
