A little while later, the same messenger returned, and again apologised for the interruption. The messenger announced that his earlier report was not accurate, because the ship actually survived the storm, and was now lying safe in the harbour. As before, Kwaja Moinuddin Chisti just repeated, quietly, Alhamdu lill h, then he continued the lesson, as if nothing unusual had happened. This puzzled some of his pupils. The wise man replied, I am only refining my heart.
All hardships are a test from All h, just as all good things are also a test from All h.
I have entrusted all my affairs to All h, and I know that nothing will happen to me, without His permission. What All h wills, is sufficient for me. From this story, we learn that we should never tear ourselves apart from grief or distress, and we should never go overboard with happiness or excitement. Whatever we encounter in life, happiness or hardship, we must accept as a test from All h, and we must endure them with equal grace and forbearance. None of us can become Prophets of All h, but we can, if we try hard enough, become like the friends of All h. Friends always seek each other s companionship, they avoid displeasing or hurting each other.
