Duties of the Believer
What is his duty if he is sick?
The person who is sick, disabled or in similar situations;
• He should not forget that the troubles in his life are an expiation for his wrong actions, and a means for him to rise in his station with Allah.
• He should be happy because he is freed from accountability for every blessing that he is deprived of.
• He should find peace by contemplating the tremendous reward for
showing patience.
• He should take the example of the prophets who were tested with various diseases.
Maybe a blind person will be thankful on the Day of Judgment, saying; “If my eyes could see in mortal life, I would not be able to protect myself from some negative situations. Maybe I would fall into many unlawful things and I
wouldn’t be able to answer for them now.”
The relatives who serve their patients; should think,”this patient is entrusted to me.” He should consider him as a means of reward for himself and strive to receive his good prayers by serving him.
What is his duty if he is strong and powerful?
Allah Almighty will ask all of His servants in the hereafter; “Where did you use the power I gave you?”
For this reason, the believer should mobilize all his resources in the way of Allah, just like the Companions. He should live with the attitude that the weak are entrusted to him.
Because we need to serve both with our time, power and wealth in the way of Allah.
