How to deal with Trials and Tribulations ?  Allah SWT says in the opening ayats of Sura Ankabut: قال تعالي ( احسب الناس ان يتركوا ان يقولو ءامنا وهم لايفتنون . ولقدفتنا الذين من قبلهم فليعلمن   الله الذين صدقو . وليعلمن الكاذبين   Do the people think that they will be left to say “we believe” and they will not be tried? But we have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and he will surely make evident the liars. Every person is faced with trials and tribulations at one point or another in their lives. It is patience that helps the believer cope. When calamity befalls a patient believer, it does not crush him. Instead, the believer endures, persists, and has hope in the mercy of Allah and the rewards that are awaiting him on the Day of Judgment. In Surat al mulk :2 الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملاً " [ الملك : 2 ]  He] who created death and life t...
