THE PROPHET {SAW} SAID,

"Safeguard Allah and He will safeguard you. SafeguardAllah and you will find Him in front of you. KnowAllah in times of ease and He will know you in timesof hardship. When you ask, ask Allah. When you seekaid, turn to Allah. The Pen has dried (after havingwritten) all that will occur. If the whole of creation, inits entirety, was to try and effactuate some benefit for youthrough something that Allah has not ordained, theywould not be able to do so; and if they wished to harmyou through something that Allah has not decreed, theywould not be able to do so. Know that great good lies inbearing with patience what you dislike, that victory comeswith patience, that relief comes with distress, and thatwith hardship comes ease."'
