Patience and Thankfulness: Reflections from Imam Al-Ghazali
“Wondrous the affair of the believer for there is good for him in every matter and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, then he thanks Allah and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, then he shows patience and thus there is good for him.” – Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
