Overcoming Trials with Patience and Prayer: A Message of Hope for the People of Sham

Navigating Difficult Times with Faith and Resilience: A Reminder from the Qur'an

{هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِيَ الْمُوْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُوا زِلْزَالاً شَدِيدًا}

There, the believers were tried and shaken with a mighty shaking.

(Al Qur'an 33:11)

It is a difficult situation with which Allah is testing the faith of His Slaves, especially the people of Sham, the blessed land.

Allah increases the affliction of its people, so that they attain with the affliction the highest levels of closeness to Him and reward them with His Paradise under which rivers flow. 

The Most Merciful, did not leave it's inhabitants alone without guiding and showing them a solution. 

He says in the Glorious Qur'an 2:152

فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِي وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.

Followed by the verses what is required of from the slaves of Allah, 

Al Qur'an 02:153

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salat (the prayer). Truly! Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

Reminding 

Al Qur'an 02: 155

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ

And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

Guiding what needs to be said by As Sabireen the patient... 

Al Qur'an 02: 156

الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return."

As a result of following all these as a reward. 

Al Qur'an02: 157

أُولَٰئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ

They are those on whom are the Salawat (i.e. blessings, etc.) (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided-ones.
