CONCERNING OBSTACLES AND TRIALS IN THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER
Ibn Al-Qayyim said: Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said to me on an occasion: (Obstacles and trials are like warmth and cold; so if the servant knows that they are both imperative – then he does not become angry due to their occurrence and nor does he grieve due to that and nor does he become saddened.))
Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah
