one of the Muslims and he responds 'Inna Lillahi wa inna ilahi
raaji'oun, Allahumma ujurni fi museebati w'ukhluf li khayran minha,'
(Truly to Allah we belong & truly to Him we shall return, O Allah
reward me in this calamity & compensate me with something better than
it), but Allah will compensate him with something better than it."
(Muslim 918)
In other words, if you've lost something precious, or if disaster has
hit you, and you respond with faith in Allah, asking Him to replace
your loss with something better, then Allah will surely respond and
give you something better.
SubhanAllah! What more could we ask? Allah is theonly one who does
this. Ifyour house is destroyed, the insurance company will try to
find a way to deny your claim, and if they finally pay then theywill
pay less than it's worth.
The crucial thing is that the dua' must be said in that moment of pain
and loss, when you are really hurting. You can't respond at first by
saying, "Why did you do this to me Allah, I didn't deserve this!" then
months later when you've recovered somewhat, think you can say this
dua' and it will work for you.
The whole point is that inthose moments when lifeis most difficult and
you are totally thrown for a loop, you respond by turning to Allah.
That's the test. Those moments are the proving ground of your soul. If
you can face Allah in those moments of agony and say – I trust You,
all thingsreturn to You, I know youwill give me something better –
then indeed Allah will give you more than you can imagine.
May Allah give us the strength to remember Him and turn to Him
instinctively in times of calamity and times of joy as well.
