Trials and tribulations are an inevitable part of human life. Islam teaches believers to face every test with patience (Sabr), prayer (Salah), and complete trust in Allah's wisdom.
رَبَّنَا أفرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
Rabbana afrigh 'alayna sabran wa thabbit aqdamana wansurna 'alal-qawmil-kafirin.
Our Lord, pour upon us patience, plant our feet firmly, and grant us victory over the disbelieving people.
