One must be patient with Allah's decree and destiny and avoid despair, for all that Allah decrees for a believer is good for him. Calamities may be a path to attaining a great status with Allah. Despair does not remove the affliction and deprives one of the reward for patience. One must have a good opinion of Allah and not despair of His mercy. Maintaining prayer, reciting the Quran, seeking forgiveness, abandoning sins, and keeping good company are all matters that bring tranquility and goodness.
