" WHO, WHEN SUFFERING COMES TO THEM, SAY: "WE CERTAINLY BELONG TO ALLAH, AND TO HIM WE ARE BOUND TO RETURN." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:156)
In this sentence (we certainly belong to Allah, and to Him we are bound to return) it has first been pointed out to us that because we all belong to Allah Ta'alah so He has the full right to make whatever decision He wants to make about us. And because we belong to Him, and no one wants to harm their own belongings, therefore, whatever decision He makes about us would be in our best interests, even if we can not understand the reasoning and logic behind that decision at that time. On the other hand this also points to the fact that one day we also have to return to Allah Ta'alah just like our close relative or friend has done today, therefore, this separation from them is temporary and is not permanent. And when we are re-united with our loved ones we will InshaAllah (God willing) also be rewarded for the pain and distress we are suffering today. If a person has this firm belief in their mind then they are exhibiting Sabr (patience) even if they are involuntarily shedding tears at the same time.
