Sometimes in life, we face difficulties that make us feel like giving up. Whether it’s failing a test, losing a friend, or struggling with something painful, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But in the Quran, Allah reminds us that true believers don’t stop—they keep going, and He rewards them for it.
In Surah Aal-e-Imran (3:172), Allah says:
“For those who followed Allah and his Messenger after suffering difficulty, those who did good and were mindful of Allah, they will have a great reward.”
This verse was revealed about the believers after the Battle of Uhud, where they suffered loss and injury. But instead of giving up, they remained strong and obeyed Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ). Allah loved their perseverance and promised them a great reward.
This teaches us:
Even after hardship, we must keep going. Life will knock us down, but our faith gives us strength to get back up.
Doing good despite struggles brings Allah’s reward. No effort goes unnoticed—every struggle for Allah’s sake is counted.
Taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) leads to success. Staying connected to Allah during difficult times brings ease and blessings.
When things get tough, don’t give up. Keep going, even when you feel exhausted.
Do good even when you’re hurting. Helping others and staying positive will bring peace to your heart.
Trust that Allah sees your struggles. Every hardship you face with patience will be rewarded.
This verse reminds us that the strongest people are not those who never fall, but those who rise again after falling. If we keep faith in Allah, every hardship will turn into a stepping stone toward something greater. Allah’s reward is always near for those who keep going. So don’t stop—Allah sees your efforts, and He will never let them go to waste.
