There is only one response we are required to give in the face of adversities and difficulties. This is the response of patience. We have no other option in this regard. If we try to take another option, we will meet with failure in both this world and the Hereafter. The Prophet once said: 'Know that success comes with patience.' Here 'success' is meant in the sense of worldly success. Thus if we try to give some other kind of response, we will not be successful in this world. Patience is in accordance with the law of nature. Only an action that is according to the law of nature can yield success. The law of nature requires us to be patient in the face of difficulties.
