What comes after patience in the face of tribulation and calamities?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

After enduring affliction, the believer rejoices in Allah's reward if their patience was sincerely for His sake. The reward for patience is absolute and limitless. Allah says: "And give glad tidings to the patient" [Al-Baqarah: 155], and He says: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account" [Az-Zumar: 10]. Al-Tirmidhi narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Calamity continues to afflict the believing man and woman in their self, their child, and their wealth until they meet Allah with no sin upon them."
