﴾And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the

Blessings of All�h, never will you be able to count them. Verily!
Man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever.﴿
617

Ibnu Qayyim ﷲا ﻪﲪر said: “In order to lighten those trials there

are two ways: Firstly, count the blessings of All�h and all the

blessings that exist. If ‘he’ is incapable of counting them because

of their many numbers, then those trials will feel light. So much so
that if those trials are compared with the blessings of All�h, they

can be similar (in comparison) to a drop of water in the middle of
the ocean. Secondly, remember the blessings of All�h from before,

618
meaning this matter is connected with the past”.

9. We must consider the calamities, tests, trials, and illnesses that

befall our brothers to be more intense (serious) than ours.

We must see that as serious as the illness is that has befallen

us, there are still people whose illnesses are much more serious and
heavier than ours, and this is the way to console the self by means

of seeing another person whose trials are heavier than ours.
