People have a difficult trial because in this world, people are given a valuable training and are educated to be worthy of Heaven.

The only aim of a believer is to earn the most of God’s good pleasure as he has no expectations from the life of this world.

When one is caught up in this world, the life of this world would drag him inside and suffocate him, so to speak. Such a person would struggle for a lifetime. But if one submits to God completely, he would live every moment in peace and beauty and his affairs would be straightened very easily.

The life we see now is like a dream. The soul that is dreaming will enter into a sharper dimension of dream with death.

Some people do not want to think about how short the life in this world is and some others are in fact spiritually dead beings living like machines.

They [some people] don't understand God’s laws; that’s why they are so worried about everything. They think that every object, every being in the world is independently capable. They wrongly think that cars, houses, medications, in short everything has a power that is independent from God. That’s why they are continuously suffering, continuously in pain. If they comprehended that there is only one God and only God has power, if they surrendered to God, they would have lived very comfortably.

When people forget God, God gives them troubles –sometimes little, sometimes more intense- to remind of Himself. God always brings people closer to Himself through different means. This is a beautiful blessing of God.

God doesn’t want people to forget about the transiency of the world. God shows people that this world is not created to simply survive with diseases and troubles they face. People learn about loving and being loved through troubles, ordeals and diseases. Without them people’s education wouldn’t be completed.

Death is waking up from a dream. After that moment, after death, the images continue uninterruptedly. The life in this world is a dream. Death is passing to a sharper image from that dream. Muslims would never face anything that would upset or disturb them after the moment they die.

A person with strong faith who loves God very much is never unhappy. When there is a lack of faith, there is unhappiness and distress.

Both the life of this world and death are pleasant for Muslims.

Every person lives imprisoned in their physical body in this world. When the trial is over, this imprisonment inside that body will come to an end and the real life will begin in Heaven or hell.

Life is a shadow existence, an illusion.

Lovelessness weighs people down. One needs to take refuge in God to get away from the spiritual troubles caused by lovelessness.

Man, who is composed of flesh and bones, has no basis for arrogance. We will stay in this world for a very short time, die, turn into dust and go to the eternal Hereafter.

People feeling tired can drink a lot of water, take a cold or warmish shower and do sporting activities to feel refreshed.

Troubles and distresses could happen despite all precautions. They are necessary to see the temporary nature of this world and love God even more.

If one honestly and sincerely thinks and realizes that everything belongs to God, all the troubles and pains caused by idolatry will be gone immediately.

Pains and troubles are created for a reason, for our test in this world. But there will be no pain or negativity in Heaven.

Some are in constant misery because of the torment God gives them. Negative words of these people only improve Muslims' rank in paradise.

Hypocrites imagine that they can move away from Islam and the distress they feel inside simply by wandering around instead of serving on the path of Islam. Actually wandering around would not lessen the distress hypocrites have inside, on the contrary it causes their torment to increase in folds both in this world and in hell.

If one does not believe that his heart will find peace in the remembrance of God, then whatever he does will only bother and depress him more.

All the power is in the Hands of Allah. Allah is the One Who gives distress and Who takes it away. In the verse Allah says that "He is the One Who gives illnesses and that He is the One Who heals." Almighty Allah is the One Who gives the illnesses and He is the One Who heals.

Everyone can feel distressed at times. This is how it is in this World as a part of the trial. Drinking lukewarm water, not leaving the body dehydrated, not leaving one's self sleepless, moving a little. But the most important and above all else being in love with Allah, completely submitting to Allah and leaving one's self to Allah and knowing that reasons can never be a basis [ can be the cure for to overcome that distress.]

Knowing about all religions is the essence of culture. A person must know about the faiths of his own region and his neighbors.
