"And indeed we will give you temptation, with a little fear, famine, lack of wealth, soul and fruits. And proclaim the good news to those who are patient. Those are people who when struck by disaster, they say: "Innaa Lillaahi wa inna ilaihi raaji'uun" (Verily We belong to Allah and to Him We return) ".
(QS. Al-Baqarah, verse 155)
The above verse indicates to us that in living this life is full of various trials and problems of life. When and wherever the trials of life will always come. Ready or not ready. Like or dislike. The trials of life will always come.
As a religious man when the trials of life come, we should absolutely open the awareness that God has rebuked us. It is impossible that trials will come when there is no musabab. There must be something wrong with our behavior. The problem is, not everyone is "ngeh" in the face of the trials of life. There is a negative reaction that translates the trials of life as torture. From here also not a few people who finally despair. Her life spirits suddenly dimmed. Life finally becomes an endless escape. At its peak committed suicide as a final destination.
If we continue to drag on in sadness and continue to run away from life's problems, it is a form of despair. Because it will bring us into the abyss of life. We must also realize, failure and success are two things or one unity that can not be separated in this life. There is failure there must be success, there is success there must be failure. Both go side by side and go hand in hand. If we want to succeed, we must be ready to fail. Similarly, someone who has succeeded in facing this life, surely he never experienced a failure or a trial of life.
In Al-Insyirah verses 5-6, it is described. "For verily after difficulties there is ease, in fact after the difficulty there is a charge." In the verse Allah repeats it twice. This means that if we remain steadfast, patient in the face of trials, remain istiqomah, and not panic of pain and bitterness. And do not consider this ordeal as an enemy or a barrier that hinders our lives. But, try to make it as a friend, friend, or as a reflection in this life. Or as a life experience so that we are more mature again in the face of this life. "... They are the perfect blessings and the mercy of their Lord, and they are the guides. (QS. Al-Baqarah, verse 155).
In essence, it would be wise if we deal with the various problems of life that exist, and not continue to run or avoid the discomfort of life. How complicated and big is the problem, as long as we want to be wholehearted to read our strengths and weaknesses. There are advantages in the self that must be raised, stacked, and nurtured to become strength. There is a deficiency in the self that must be thrown away, removed, and scraped away as much as possible. From there the man has the power to organize his life for the better. And remember with His promise. "Allah does not burden a person but according to his ability." (QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 286).
