وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
Ibnul-Qayyim rahimahullah states: "If something occurs to the slave from the decree which he dislikes then let him observe six matters regarding it: 1⃣. The aspect of tawheed (monotheism); that Allāh is the One who decreed it, willed it and created it. What Allāh wills, occurs and what He does not will, will not occur. 2⃣. The aspect of justice; that His judgment will come to pass and His divine decree concerning him is just. 3⃣. The aspect of mercy; that His mercy concerning this decree prevails His anger and His retribution. 4⃣. The aspect of wisdom; that His wisdom, Exalted is He, necessitated this [decree]. He did not decree it futilely and nor did He foreordain it in vain. 5⃣. The aspect of praise. Acknowledging that to Allāh belongs all perfect praise for this [decree] in all its aspects. 6⃣. The aspect of 'Uboodiyyah (servitude to Allāh). That one is merely a slave of Allāh in every aspect. The judgments and decrees of his Lord will occur to him by virtue of him being His possession and His slave. So He directs the slave to His universal rulings just as He directs him to His religious rulings, thus the slave is subject to the occurrence of these judgments upon him."

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ((ما يَزالُ البَلاءُ بِالمُؤمن والمُؤمِنَة فِي نَفسِه وَوَلَدِه وَمَالِه، حَتَّى يَلقى الله َوَما عَلَيهِ خَطِيئَةٌ)). “The believing male and believing female will not cease to be tested within their own-self, children and wealth until they meet Allāh whilst having no sins.” (i.e. as an atonement through the hardships they suffered) Reported by At-Tirmidhī [2399]. Graded ‘Sahīh’ by Al-imām Al-Albānī in Sahīh Al-Jāmi’ [5815] and ‘Hasan Sahīh’ by Al-Imām Muqbil Al-Wādi’ī in As-Sahīh Al-Musnad [1420].
