Sahih al Bukhari 5645
If Allah wants to do good to somebody, he afflicts him with pain.

How often do we think a calamity, a trial is good for us? In this hadith our Rasool (S.A.W) says when Allah wants khair for you, when He wants to do good for you that is when you are afflicted with trials.
How can trials be good for us? Whenever we are going through some stress or difficulty in any way be it physical, mental, financial etc. some of us just lose hope, go further away from deen (this is not what Allah wants us to do , this is what shaytaan wants us to do) And some of us get closer to Allah by seeking his help, by trusting His decree, By relying solely on Him. Subhan Allah.  
When struck with a calamity, firstly endure patience and Thank Allah, things could have been worse, there are people suffering in more ways than you. Secondly, endure patience and thank Allah as He choose to erase some of our sins. Thirdly, endure patience and Thank Allah by your suffering in this duniya which is temporary, Allah is elevating your ranks in the Akhirah which is eternal.
The Messenger of Allah said: "The believer is not afflicted by the prick of a thorn or what is worse (or greater) than that, except that by it Allah raises him in rank and removes sin from him."
But there are times when we think it is just too much to deal with, we cannot take it anymore. How much is too much? Dear brothers and sisters the trials that we are going through are much easier than the trials which our forefathers went through. Do not despair in a tough situation, it is temporary, and it too shall pass, focus on getting closer to Allah at these times and a focus on your final goal to reach Jannah 
 
Allah says do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? (2;214)
If we go through every trial with patience and seek his help, we become stronger and wiser. O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. (2:153)

If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)

  ู„ูŽุฆูู† ุดูŽูƒูŽุฑุชูู… ู„ูŽุฃูŽุฒูŠุฏูŽู†ู‘ูŽูƒูู… If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)   SubhanAllah such a beautiful ayah. In our day to day life, usually what happens when we do some one a favor, we expect them to thank us and appreciate us but when it comes to the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us we seldom thank Allah. Allah blesses us abundantly and when we thank him sincerely for even a few of his blessing , he increases it ( gives us barakah) in it. How amazing is that? If you want barakah in any thing at all, just thank Allah constantly. Expecting appreciation and gratefulness  from people will only lead us to depression and ill feeling towards others. This is one of the biggest test for us, Allah test every human being by blessing him as He mentions in this ayah(27: 40) โ€œโ€ฆThis is by the grace of my Lord! โ€“ to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ...

He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother.

  He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother. (Bukhari & Muslim) This, very simple Hadith, has so much weight. Pleasing our parents does not only bring happiness to us in this duniya but also gives us great rewards in the aakhira. Pleasing parents requires constant hard work just as our parents worked hard day and night to raise us. These days we love our personal space so much that we get upset when our parents demand some time of ours or some help from us and we get irritated if this happens often. Just imagine how much time we took from their life? And now when it is time to repay a little we move back. Such is our generation. Our parents were our way to this duniya and our way to jannah. Give them attention, time, respect them, be kind to them, make them happy ,do the things they like together (even if it is drinking morning tea with them ) it means a lot to them. Make a schedule and take out some time for them even if you are far a...

Part of the perfection of a personโ€™s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: โ€œThe Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: โ€œ Part of the perfection of a personโ€™s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him โ€ A hasan hadith. Recorded by at-Tirmidhi and others in that fashion. This hadith nurtures a person to have proper manners and etiquettes especially when it comes to other people's affairs. Personal and private matters of our muslim brothers and sisters is not our concern unless and until a person is found committing a sin upon which it becomes incumbent upon us as a muslim to correct that person in a gentle and polite way or if the opposite person asks us for advise then it becomes his right that we guide him according to the Quran and Sunnah. But otherwise we meddle in other people's affairs for no reason. We ask a couple about when they are going to have a baby. We interfere into private lives when they never asked us to. We advise when...
