It was a tremendous turning point in my life! And because I love good for you as I love it for myself, I share it with you:

I used to be, previously, if I was exposed to disturbances in my life or saw the injustice and pain that some suffer from, a question would come to me: Why? Why was this decree ordained?

What I had of "intellectual convictions" used to help me to calm the heart, so I would recall the greatness of Allah and His wisdom and say to myself: There must be an answer even if I do not know it.

Then the question "why" no longer occurred except as a contemplation of what can be known of Allah's wisdom in His decrees...

And the door of questioning Allah's deeds beyond that was completely closed!

So after this turning point there was: tremendous good and benefit extending to others.

This transformation I was only granted through exposure to severe tribulation...through which I learned the meaning of servitude, and the station of divinity, and the need of the desperate servant for the Great Lord.

A tribulation through which I understood (And they thought that there is no refuge from Allah except in Him), for neither discontent avails, nor doubt benefits, but there must be refuge and surrender!

Allah knows how many doors of good were opened to me after that!

If something afflicts me personally that pains and grieves, I look at where I fell short, and take responsibility for my mistakes, and ward off tribulations with lawful means, and consider the reward, and seek Allah's help to turn the trial into a blessing...

And if I see injustice and oppression in others, only one question occupies me: How can I help them and ease their burden?

Allah's actions: (He is not questioned about what He does), for He has perfect wisdom and to Him belongs glory and beautiful praise...What matters is what is required of me?

Allah knows how many blessings I have seen in that! And how little work produces tremendous benefit...and how the heart has become tranquil and at ease regarding Allah the Most High, and how much I have seen of His generosity and kindness, Glory be to Him...

I used to before this transformation convince myself of Allah's wisdom, and ward off what might occur of questioning the divine decree, and the story would stop at this point and I would see that I had triumphed...

But now, I no longer need to ward off questioning or recall convictions, for the door of questioning His actions, Glory be to Him, is completely closed, and energies are reserved for what I must do, so great horizons that were veiled opened to me, and Allah made me understand from the wisdoms in tribulations what I had not understood nor occurred to me.

So to everyone who doubts the wisdom of his Lord: All evidence speaks that your Lord, Mighty and Majestic, is Most Wise, Most Knowing, Greatest and Most Merciful, and what is not revealed to you of that is due to the limitation of your intellect and your little understanding of your Lord...so close the door completely, and release your energies in what benefits, and look at Allah's gifts after that, how they will be!
