The answer

After fearing Allah Almighty and adhering to His path, praise Allah for His blessings, and ask Him for more and for help in thanking Him, for the best of people is he whose life is long and whose deeds are good. Your adherence to obedience to Allah is a sign of His pleasure with you, even if calamities befall you, for Allah tests His servants with good and evil, and He does not bestow faith except upon those He loves. Remain steadfast on the path of truth and be patient in trials, and increase your remembrance of Allah and your supplication to Him so that hearts may be at peace. Allah Almighty said: "Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction."
