expiates their sins through these afflictions, and sometimes a believer's suffering is for the elevation of their rank.

(8) Another way to develop a mindset of being patient during calamities is to regularly read or listen to the books and booklets of al-Madina-tul-Ilmiyyah and by Ameer Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ published by Maktabat-ul-Madinah. These books and booklets contain many hadith narrations related to patience in calamity, instructive parables, and sayings of Allah's pious servants, and admonitory incidents.

One of the 12 Religious Activities: 'The Circle for Listening to and Reading Tafsīr'

Dear Islamic brothers! An easy way to gain the benefits of patience in calamities is to associate oneself with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, a religious movement of the devotees of the Prophet, and to actively promote the 12 religious activities for progress in good deeds. One of these 12 religious activities is 'The Circle for Listening to and Reciting Tafsīr,' in which 3 Quranic verses, their translation, and their commentary are recited and listened to, and the Shajarah Qadiriyyah Razawiyyah Ziya'iyyah Attariyyah is also recited and heard. You too should make it a habit to participate in the learning and teaching circles of tafsīr. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه! You will receive many blessings.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember that calamities are often a mercy for believers. Therefore, if we succeed in being patient during a calamity, on the Day of Judgment we will be entitled to such immense rewards that people will envy us.

Those in Well-being Shall Wish!

Just as the Beloved Prophet عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم stated:
