In My Hand is the alternation of night and day.&rdquo; It was also narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Do not inveigh against time, for Allah is Time&rdquo;, i.e., He is the One Who is controlling time. So when man is afflicted with calamity, he must be patient and seek reward, for Allah has enjoined patience.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;And Allah said to His Prophet ` (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) (interpretation of the meaning):<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&ldquo;This is of the news of the Unseen which We reveal unto you (O Muhammad); neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for the Muttaqoon (the pious).&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">[11:49]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Let man know that no matter what happens there is something worse than it&nbsp; somewhere else in the world.
