Resilience amid hardship
26 September 2025
At times, a trial serves as kaffarah – a form of expiation of sins from Allah s.w.t. However, this does not mean that every trial we face is a punishment, nor should it be seen as a form of humiliation.
The Prophets – whom we should take as our role models – faced those trials with صَبْرٌ جَمِيل (sobrun jamil); a beautiful patience; one without complaint, and filled with hope in Allah s.w.t.
From these examples, we can conclude that a believer (Mukmin) does not fall into despair when faced with crises and life’s challenges. A believer holds firmly to the faith he has professed, and once again refines his understanding of the essence of patience.
