0:08
The necessity of a sound heart, free from objection to unavoidable calamities.
0:14
When calamities and decrees befall a person, which cannot be averted despite all possible means being employed,
0:23
then they must submit to Allah's decree and destiny, patiently endure what has been ordained, and be certain of His wisdom in what He has decreed and destined.
0:33
People vary in their state when facing calamities, and they have four states in this regard.
0:40
The first state is forbidden: that of panic, discontent, and lack of patience, which contradicts belief in destiny.
0:49
The second state is obligatory: that of patience with what has been decreed.
0:55
The third state is recommended: that of contentment with what has been decreed and ordained, and not disliking it.
1:03
This differs from contentment with the decree itself, which is obligatory.
1:08
The fourth state is perfection: that of thanking Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for His decree and what He has ordained.
