There is nothing at all that produces the excellent outcomes and abundance of blessings like Tawheed, without question the good of the worldly life and the hereafter are from the fruits and virtues of Tawheed.
Whenever (you find) your heart heedless, and you are preoccupied with the worldly life, then go to the graves and contemplate about those people (in the graves), yesterday they were upon the earth, just as you are now.
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!
Muslims do not draw close to Allah with that which he finds the people upon, rather he only draws close to Allah by that which the Leader of Mankind, the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alaihi wa salam) was upon.
Ash-Shaykh Al-Allaamah Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked about calamities in a person’s religion, he responded,
“We ask Allah [the Most High] that He does not put us to trial in our religion. A calamity in religion is like what the atheists, the orientalists, the ba’athists, Marxists have been afflicted with and all other heretics (besides the ones mentioned). Whoever is put to trial in his Aqeedah with deviation, and put to trial in his worship with Bidah, then indeed he has been put to trial with calamities in his religion. These are (some) types of calamities in a person’s religion which (a person) must – at all times – seek refuge from, because you will be rewarded – if you were patient – when facing a calamity in worldly affairs, whereas a calamity in religion is a more severe calamity”. (1)
Shuraih Al-Qaadhiy [may Allah have mery upon him] said, “Indeed (when) afflicted by a calamity, I praise Allah four times: I praise Allah for not making the calamity greater than what it is. I praise Allah for granting me patience. I praise Allah for the reward I hope for in that calamity and I praise Allah for not placing that calamity in the affairs of my religion”. (2)
“The anthropomorphists(1) (Mushabbiha; those who resemble Allah to his creation) their origins are from the rawaafid shia(2), there are others that are labelled with resembling Allah to His Creation (tashbeeh), however the most well known were the heads of the rawaafid, Allah is Lofty and far removed from that (which they claim).”
