-Ibn Masud Said �Truly amazing are the two detested ones: death and poverty. They showed joy at the onset of a calamity because they knew full well that there in comparison between it�s hardship and it�s fruit and benefits. This situation is comparable to one who is cured from severe illness after drinking foul medicine�

You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the Mahr you have given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse. And live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and All�h brings through it a great deal of good.� (Al-Quran 4:19)

12. Trial and tribulation protects one from arrogance.

-when you are hit by a trial you realize how low you are.
Allah says in the Quran,� And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves, they would surely rebel in the earth, but He sends down by measure as He wills. Verily! He is in respect of His slaves, the Well-Aware, the All-Seer (of things that benefit them).� (Al-Quran 42:27)

13. Who are we not to get tested?

-The prophet (PBUH) said �The example of a believer is like of a plant, the wind is always making it lean in one direction and then another, in the same way the believer is always afflicted with trials� (Sahih of Imam Bukhari)

14. Hardship cause one to turn toward Allah and ease turns one away from Allah

-Is was the reason why the Sahabas wore modest clothing and ate little.

15. Be content with the trial because this will lead to Allah�s pleasure, which is much batter then paradise and whatever it contains.

-�All�h has promised the believers -men and women, � Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of �Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of All�h. That is the supreme success.� (Al-Quran 9:72)
