If our purpose in life is to free ourselves from problems, then we need to correct this misconception. A look at the history of the prophets will reveal how problem after problem were thrown into their lives, and how they gallantly faced these problems. Problems shape our thinking, remind us of our shortcomings, strengthen us and more importantly, help us turn to God. Problems humble us, keep us modest. ‘Sakiinah’, the state of staying calm and maintaining self-peace by realising this and most importantly, by the remembrance of Allah, is what we are after.
