certainly try you with somewhat of fear and hunger and loss of property and lives and fruits; and<br />

give good news to the patient.[3] And when He says: And how many a prophet has fought with<br />

whom were many worshippers of the Lord; so they did not be<strong>com</strong>e weak‐hearted on account of<br />

what befell them in Allah's way, nor did they weaken, nor did they abase themselves; and Allah<br />

loves the patient.[4] And when He says: The patient men and the patient women.[5] And when He<br />

says: And be patient till Allah should give judgment, and He is the best of the judges.[6] Verses<br />

similar to these are many in the Qur'an.<br />

O My uncle and cousin, know that Allah, the Great and Almighty, never pays attention to the<br />

distress of the world toward his friend for an hour; and that there is nothing more beloved to him<br />

than distress, toil, and tribulation along with patience, and that He, the Blessed and Exalted, never<br />

pays attention to the ease of the world toward his enemy for an hour. Were it not for that, His<br />

And if it were not for that, Allah, the Great and Almighty, would not say in His Book: And were it<br />

not that all people had been a single nation, We would certainly have assigned to those who<br />

disbelieve in the Beneficent Allah (to make) of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs by<br />

which they ascend.[7] And if it were not for that, He would not say in His Book: Do they think that<br />

by what We aid them with of wealth and children, We are hastening to them of good things? Nay,<br />

they do not perceive. [8]<br />

And were it not for that, it would not have been mentioned in the hadith: "Were it not for that the<br />

believer became sad, I would make for the unbeliever an iron head<br />

mentioned in the hadith: "Surely, the world is not equal to a mosquito's wing in Allah's sight." And<br />
