The answer

Every soul has an appointed term that neither delays nor advances. A Muslim must believe in God's divine decree and destiny, and recite "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return" upon experiencing a calamity, as this eases it and brings tranquility. It is advised to turn to Allah Almighty to remove worry and grief, and to avoid going to soothsayers, diviners, and sorcerers, as they only increase anxiety and terror.
