Arabic:

مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ وَلَا وَصَبٍ وَلَا هَمٍّ وَلَا حُزْنٍ وَلَا أَذًى وَلَا غَمٍّ إِلَّا كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ

English Translation:

"No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim except that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it."

Explanation:

Even pain has a purpose. When a believer suffers patiently, Allah uses that suffering to clean away his sins — so nothing a believer endures is ever lost.

💡 Remember:

Even pain has a purpose.
