Navaid Aziz - Hardship is Coming

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Navaid Aziz explores the inevitability of hardship in the life of a believer and how to spiritually prepare for it. Drawing on a powerful real-life story of loss, personal anecdotes, and the wisdom of scholars like Ibn al-Qayyim, he outlines practical ways to respond to trials with gratitude, patience, and a vivid longing for paradise. Key takeaways include three things to be grateful for in every trial, five ways to embrace hardship, and a beautiful exercise in envisioning Jannah as motivation to persevere.
