Some of the pious predecessors used to supplicate:

اللهم اعزني بطاعتك ولا تذلني بمعصيتك

O Allaah! Grant me honour through obedience to you and do not humiliate me through disobedience to you.

‏”اللهم اجعل عملي كله صالحاً ،
‏واجعله لوجهك خالصاً ،

✍🏻 قال الشيخ محمد أمان الجامي رحمه الله :

Fitnah is Inevitable – Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullah)

Al-Allaamah Al-Muhaddith Muqbil ibn Hadi Al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullah) stated regarding fitnah,

It’s inevitable that there will be trials, tribulations and tests, Allah (The Mighty and Majestic) says,

‎ونبـلوكم بالـشر والخيـر فتـنة
We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good (21:35)

That which is important is to remain patient and firm (during fitnah).

You are not Aware of it! – Al-Imaam Al-Uthaymeen

وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكۡرَهُواْ شَيۡـًٔا وَهُوَ خَيۡرٌ لَّكُمْۖ وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تُحِبُّواْ شَيۡـًٔا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know. (2:216)

Al-Allaamah al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah):

Do not dislike something which Allah has chosen (decreed), for indeed Allah has chosen something which has a tremendous benefit in it, you are just not aware of it!
