Guidance to be patient with affliction

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He describes his psychological state accurately in his final question to Shaykh Salih, and in the end, he asks you for guidance so that he can be patient with what Allah has afflicted him with. May Allah preserve you. Yes. His psychological state appears to be very bad, according to his description of it in his last question, and therefore he asks you for guidance so that he can be patient with what Allah has afflicted him with.

Answer:
The believer is patient and seeks reward, and he does not panic, nor does he complain about the divine decree and destiny of Allah. Allah said:
No disaster strikes except by permission of Allahمَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
[At-Taghabun 64:11]
And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heartوَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ
[At-Taghabun 64:11]
. 'Alqamah said: "He is the man who is struck by a calamity, and he knows that it is from Allah, so he is pleased and submits." So he should be patient and seek reward, and this is what Allah expiates sins and mistakes with. Panic brings nothing, but rather it increases the pain and regret of the afflicted person, and it is from Shaytan.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
