In a recently published motion graphic video, Egypt’s Dar al-Ifta confirmed that difficulties and calamities are destined by God Almighty. The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There is no trouble that comes to a believer except that it removes some of his sins, even if it is the pricking of a thorn.” Dar al-Ifta added that these difficult times are but a blessing in disguise as per the words of God Almighty, “but give glad tidings to the patient.” (Quran 2: 155)

Adhering to all medical procedures and health protective measures, one must put their trust in God that He will remove the harm, cure the patients and immensely reward them in this world and the hereafter. “There is no need to panic and occupy yourself with making remembrance of God,” the video concluded.
