You must thank Allah for the blessing of commitment, and for patience during affliction, and look to those who are less fortunate to appreciate Allah’s blessings. Calamities require patience and seeking reward to attain recompense, otherwise there will be despair and discontent, with the calamity and its sin remaining. There is no need to fear Shariah. Overcome this stage by stopping thinking about the matter, ignoring the opinions of others, repenting to Allah, striving in obedience to Him and thanking Him, and striving in work and showing kindness to people.
