So do not despair

God charges no soul save to its capacity, that is, what it is capable of bearing...[2:286]


No affliction befalls in the earth or in your own selves, which We have not recorded in a Book before bringing it into being. This is an easy thing for Allah. (This is done so that) you are not disheartened over what you may lose nor feel exultant over what Allah may give you...[57:22-23]


God charges no soul save to its capacity, that is, what it is capable of bearing...[2:286]



As Sheikh Abul A'la Al Maududi famously said,

"If you are made to attain to success without passing through these hardships, weaknesses will remain in your character due to which you will neither be able to digest power and authority nor withstand the tempests and furies of falsehood."




So do not despair ........
