"When you are hurt by the people who share blood relations with you,
recall Yusuf alaihi salaam who was also betrayed by his brothers"
"When you find your parents opposing you (in deen)
recall Ibrahim alaihi salaam who was burnt by his own father"
"When you are mocked and abused by your own relatives just because you adopted deen over dunya, recall Rasulullah sallalhu alaihi wa sallam who faced the same situation"
"When you are stuck into some problem and find no way out,
recall Yunus alaihi salaam who was stuck into a fish's stomach"
"When you fall ill and your whole body cries with pain,
recall Aiyub alaihi salaam who was more ill than us"
"When you see some physical fault in yourself,
recall Musa alaihi salam who could not properly speak"
"When someone slanders you,
recall Aisha radiallahu anha who was also slandered through the whole city"
"When you feel lonely,
recall how Adam alaihi salaam would have felt when he was sent to this earth alone"
"When you can't see any logic in what's going on and your heart
asks why is this happening,
recall Nuh alaihi salaam who made the biggest ship without questioning"
Allah put all those great personalities in trials so that some day someone like you and me, if being faced by any calamity should not question, "WHY ME?"
