Praising Allah During Hard Times
By looking around. Paying close attention. Seeing different people around us especially those who are in relatively more pain and suffering than us. Only than can we realize the blessings of Allah upon us and truly thank him for his mercy. Secondly look towards the examples of Prophets in the Quran. How did Prophet Ayub behave for example in tremendous suffering. Utmost Patience and Sincere Prayer. Realizing this calamity is from Allah and only He can alleviate it. Realize that Suffering is a Test, a trial and Tribulation from God to see if we are Faithful, thankful and patient even in difficult times. The Only way to Succeed in this test is Not to fall in Despair. Not to give yourself in the hands of Evil & Satan. Be steadfast and Upright and righteous. Do your Best & leave the ret to God. Its only a matter of Time that suffering will be removed.
