Who doesn't feel sad and bitter when they remember the flood disaster that caused the death of loved ones, damaged property including cars, causing huge losses.
This has not yet gone through the repair times to return to the way it was before and the worst is to re-soothe the somewhat depressed emotions due to the destruction of property and the departure of loved ones in the blink of an eye after many years together.
Of course, those who face it will know how painful it is when the test comes. Will we as Muslims blame destiny?
In our daily life, we certainly cannot escape from facing various things that are not desired by all humans, such as the flood disaster that hit our country recently and many victims who are still traumatized.
However, our religion does not make all the misfortunes a pointless thing.
Believers who have faith, are patient and calm with the calamity, will be rewarded with a reward by Allah SWT and we as His servants do not know what wisdom Allah SWT wants behind the calamity that befalls.
Of course, every believer will be tested to strengthen his faith and piety to Allah SWT alone.
That is the promise of Allah SWT and Allah SWT will see the extent of his servant's patience and dependence on Allah SWT when something bad happens or otherwise.
The word of God in Surah al-Baqarah verse: 155,
"And indeed We will give you trials, with a little fear, hunger, lack of property, souls and fruits. And give glad tidings to those who are patient." (Surah al-Baqarah: 155).
