All Misfortunes Have Sides Which Are Bounty
O you smitten by misfortune! Within the misfortune is a bounty. Look closely and you will see it! Just as in everything is a degree of heat,
so in every calamity a degree of bounty is to be found. Think of a worse calamity, then see the extent of the bounty in the lesser one,
And offer abundant thanks to Allah. For if you’re scared by exaggerating it, and whine and complain, it will grow.
And as it grows it will worsen. If you are anxious, it will double. Its image in your heart will turn into fact.
It will learn from reality, then turn on you and start striking your heart.
