Trials and tribulations are an inevitable part of worldly life, and with pain comes trauma. Trauma is not just a mere feeling. It is very real, and its effects can be far-reaching.

If we take a look through history, we will find that many of our heroes from the past also experienced trauma, and the Qur’an tells their stories of pain and triumph.

“Do the people think that they will be left to say, ‘We believe’ and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.”

(Surah Al-‘Ankabut, 29:2–3)

How did the prophets and those closest to Allah survive and overcome their own trauma? How can we use the Qur’an and their stories to heal from our own wounds? And then to become stronger and more resilient?
