If Allah Almighty has destined one of his servants for a high rank that he (the servant) cannot reach through his religious activities, He (Allah) may cause him (the servant) to endure matters related to his own self or family and equip him to meet suffering with patience. It is through patience that he (the servant) is elevated to the rank that he is destined for.

So I guess patience is the key.
I was reading in a self help book once, that life throws the same lessons at us over and over until we learn from them what we're supposed to learn.
Also, I read that we're at weakest when we're angry.
So yeah, to summarise, we'll learn the lesson a lot quicker if we exercise patience more often.
Jazkallah khairun for the reminder.
Lets reunite the ummah under one flag LA ILAHA IL ALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH
