"Patience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined and that the mouth does not complain."
– Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

"No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even though it were the prick he receives from a thorn."
– Narrated by ‘Aisha : Volume 7 Book 70 Bukhari

Looking for a lesson from 11/11? Let this be it:

“Except for those who are patient and do righteous deeds; those will have forgiveness and great reward.” (Surah 11. Verse 11).

Patience and righteous deeds will give you the ultimate reward of forgiveness from your lord. What more could you ask for thereafter?

-Navaid Aziz
