“Whenever we are faced with a difficulty, we should tell ourselves that the reasons for exercising ṣabr (patience) are few, and the reasons for shukr (being grateful to Allāh ta’ala) are many because the Favours of Allāh ta’ala are far more in number than the few difficulties we are encountering.

For example if we have a head ache, then we should remind ourselves that only one part of the body is in pain, while the rest of the body is well and healthy. Thus there is only one reason to be patient and many reasons for being thankful.”
