good in all

when we speak of "living a beautiful life," you should not take this to mean that people will experience no difficulty, for this world is a place where everyone is tested, and a person will be tested by various events until the end of his life. as Allah tells us in the verses of the Qur'an, everyone will suffer difficulties and problems. some will be tested with hunger, some with fear, some with losses of property or loved ones. but none of these detract in the slightest from the internal tranquility or the happiness in the heart of a believer, because a believer submits to the destiny, seeing the benefits and blessings in events, or believes in them even if he cannot perceive them, and experiences the beauty in all this. thinking positively about events and submitting to the will of Allah, the Possessor of boundless knowledge, brings lasting and genuine happiness.
