5 Ayahs that helped me get through hardship

1. You may hate a thing that is good for you

“You may dislike something although it is good for you, or like something, although it is bad for you” – Qur’an (2:216)

2. If you believe you will be tested

I kept reminding myself about the ayat: “Do people think they will be left alone after saying ‘We believe’ without being put to the test?” – Qur’an (29:2)

3. He never burdens a soul beyond what it can bare

Allah (SWT) never burdens a soul more than it can bear. I was assured, I could bear the pain I was feeling because He told me, I could. “God does not burden any soul with more than it can bear” – Qur’an (2:286)

Allah does not change your condition until you change

He is Al Wakil. “God does not change the condition of a people unless they change what is in themselves” – Qur’an (13:11)

“Whoever puts his trust in Allah; He will be enough for Him.” (65:3)
