The Qur'an brings a strange peace to hard news: no disaster reaches the earth or reaches you that was not already written before it happened. What comes to you was never going to miss you — and what missed you was never meant to reach you.
“No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah, is easy.”— 57:22 (Saheeh International)
