God informs us that He creates every event with
goodness in it. This is another secret that makes it easy for
believers to place firm trust in God. God states that even
events that seem to be unfavourable have a lot of good in
them:
... It may well be that you dislike something in which
God has placed a lot of good. (Surat an-Nisa': 19)
... It may be that you hate something when it is good
for you and it may be that you love something when
it is bad for you. God knows and you do not know.
(Surat al-Baqara: 216)
Aware of this secret, believers seek goodness and beauty in
every event. No seemingly adverse incident, hardship or
mischief ails or worries them. They maintain their composure
whether the experience is insignificant or a serious ordeal.
Sincere Muslims even see goodness and divine purpose in the
loss of all their hard earned possessions. They express gratitude
