A Reminder of God's Mercy When Some Trials Come

One of the scholars said:

"Among the mercies of Allah towards His servant is that He afflicts him with a trial which he cannot disclose, and he finds no one who can understand its details; so that there may not be in his heart any attachment to anyone other than Allah to whom he can complain."

What if the trial is unbearable and long ?

Every person gets tried or tested with something that's within their capacity. It's just that they ignore their true limit. You might feel like your trial is too difficult or unbearable but Allah knows it's not. Allah puts us to trials to purify us, raise our ranks and let us get more attached to him and more sincere and humble in our supplications and so on. Remember: أشد الناس بلاء الأنبياء ثم الذين يلونهم ثم الذين يلونهم.

To make your struggles and trials less painful and heavy, you should consistently do a lot of Dhikrs. It's a true cure for unease, anxiety, sadness, depression and so on. I personally experienced those benefits in the past. And it's greatly rewarded on top of that. Also, reminding oneself that life might literally end at any moment and with that, one's chance to strive for higher ranks in Paradise will be gone forever is a good way to shift one's focus from the dunya and its temporary struggles and hardships to the hereafter, the real deal.

This hadeeth is a great reminder and this short as well.
