The situations one faces in life, no matter how tough it seems at the moment, are all actually at an intensity that one can bear. God, the Creator of human beings, gives them their souls. He knows best how much they can tolerate and how much of a burden and difficulty they can bear.
God states in many verses that He would not afflict anyone with more than he could handle and that no one would face injustice:
God does not impose on any soul more than it can bear. It shall be requited for whatever good and whatever evil it has done. (Qur’an, 2:286)
As for those who believe and do right actions—We impose on no soul any more than it can bear—they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (Qur’an, 7:42)
Without a doubt, the events people will have to deal with and be patient with will be different. Most people are tried with many different contingencies. But, in the end, God tests people in relation to their strength.
For example, some people lead a destitute life on this earth and hence their patience in a state of impoverishment is tested. Some people live in wealth and abundance and so it is their thankfulness to God, their morals and whether they cling on to the world with greed or not that are tested.
But eventually, the rich and the poor live the life that is best for them. No matter how needy the poor person becomes, it is not a difficulty that he cannot handle. Likewise, no matter to what degree the rich person lives in abundance, this would not force him to be a spoiled and ungrateful person.
In the end, these people’s faithfulness to God and their fears regarding the Day of Judgment enable them to live by the morals of the Qur’an and become people who abide by the commandments of religion. Such people submit to God in every event they encounter.
They seek only His help and His approval. They never show disappointment in the face of difficulties and never stray from religion, even if their trial is extremely hard.
For people who resign themselves to God and trust in Him, God makes things, even the hardest seeming things, easy for them as a sign of His mercy and compassion.
In Surat al-Kahf, verse 88 clarifies this point:
“But as for him who believes and acts rightly, he will receive the best of rewards and We will issue a command, making things easy for him.”
God draws attention to this truth in other verses as well:
As for him who gives in charity and guards against evil and confirms the Good, We will pave his way to ease. (Qur'an, 92:5-7)
Those who do not submit to or trust in God will regard even easy things as hard. As a result of their ungratefulness, their denial of religion, and their distance from the morals of the Qur’an, God causes them hardship in this world:
But as for him who is miserly and self-satisfied, and denies the Good, We will pave his way to difficulty. His wealth will not help him when he plummets to the depths. Assuredly, it is for Us to give guidance. (Qur'an, 92:8-12)

Glory be to Allah and praise, there is no deity but Allah, Allah is great,
there is no power, no might but Allah, the Most High, the Most Respectful.
"Innal llaha wa Malaa'ikatahu Yu salluna allan nabiyi.
Ya Ayyuhal lazeena aamanu sallu alaihi wasallimu tasleema." (Surah Ai-Ahzab, Verse 56)
Almighty Allah says: "Surely Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Salim). O you who believe! Send Blessings (Durood) and Salutations (Salaams) on the Prophet with worthy Salutation". (Surah al-Ahzab: 56)
O Allah! Let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad(SAW) and the family of Muhammad(SAW) as You Blessed Ibrahim(AS) and the family of Ibrahim(AS). Verily You are the Praiseworthy Glorious.
O Allah! Confer Your Blessings on Muhammad(SAW) and the family of Muhammad (SAW) as You conferred blessings on Ibrahim(AS) and the family of Ibrahim(AS). Verily You are the Praiseworthy, Glorious.
'Our Lord, give us good in this world, and good in the hereafter, and safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire.' (AAMEEN)

NEVER LIE
Once there was a boy. He was very innocent and honest. One day, he has to travel with a caravan. His mother sew few dirhams inside of his cloths and advised him, "son! what so ever happens in your life but never lie because a muslim never lies". The boy kept the advice of his mother in his heart and joined the caravan.
When the caravan was passing through the desert, it was robbed by a gang of robbers. They robbed every thing from the caravan, even they did not left any lady or child. When the robber came to the boy, he asked him,"Hey! you boy! give me what you have?!?"
The boy replied"I have few dirhams"
The robber searched him but found nothing. He became angry, "Oh you lier! come and I will take you to my lord {leader of the robber}". The boy kept saying that he was not a lier and that he never lies.
The group leader of the robbers asked the boy,"Oh boy! tell me why you lie?"
"No sir! I do not lie." said the boy "My mother has advised me not to tell a lie to anyone, in any circumstances, here you see these dirhams are sewed inside my clothes".
The leader of the robbers was astonished to see them, he said"look boy! you could hid them from us?". The boy said,"Sir, I have a promise with my mother to keep, how could I break that promise?"
The leader of the robbers thought,.... ........I am a grown man and I cheat other people...... ........He is a child so honest and truth worthy...... ......... .....I am robber, I take the belongings of the people by force....... ......... .......he is a boy but offers me his total belongings.. ......... ......I am a man who has broken the promise of the great lord Allah Subhanahu who loves me more than seventy mothers..... ......... ......... ......... .....and he is a boy who keeps his mother's promise and his mother loves him so much and he loves his mother so much........ ......... ......I must be shamed on my self.
The whole gang of robbers returned every thing to the caravan people and left their evil deeds.
This event is taken from one of our islamic greatest saint's childhood named Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani {RA}.
May Allah bless you all and your parents alongwith this ummah, AMIN.
And will provide for him whence he expects not. And he who puts his trust in Allah - He is sufficient for him. Verily, Allah is to fulfil His work. Undoubtedly, Allah has kept a measure for every thing.
