If I am afflicted with a calamity, I praise Allah for it four times: I praise Him because it wasn’t worse than it was, I praise Him when He gives me the patience to bear it, I praise Him for enabling me to say al-istirjâa (‘To Allah we belong and to him we will return’ see Al-Baqarah:154-156 ) in hope of a great reward, and I praise Him for not making it a calamity in my religion

-Shurayh –May Allah have mercy on him
