NUGGET OF WISDOM

Although given very brief mention in the Quran, this incident makes the very important and lesson-giving point that one should never despair when afflicted by misfortune or loss in life. God, being All Merciful, has devised the system of this world in such a way that here no loss or deprivation is final. Here, one can always overcome one’s misfortunes and be the gainer once again, provided one remains patient and perseveres in one’s struggles, never losing hope of God’s succour. o Patience gives the strength to restrain one’s emotions in delicate situations and to use one’s mind to find a course of action along result-oriented lines.
