Handling the evil in the world

Question:

Every day we hear about the evil done especially to children. I feel this disturbs my soul very much and find it difficult to handle. I am a mother of two and I become haunted by these evil deeds. I lose my joy of life. What can I do to handle it better?

Answer:

Yes, this is harmful to the soul. Isolate yourself from all this news, as Mawlana Shaykh Nazim ق once advised a murida with a similar question. If you hear about such things, pray for those harmed, and know what awaits them of reward would make their travails as nothing:

The Prophet (s) said, “…On the Day of Judgment Allah will bring the believer who suffered the most in dunya and Allah will dip that believer in Paradise for one moment. And then Allah will ask him,”Oh son of Adam, did you ever feel suffering in your life. He said, “By Allah I have never felt any suffering at all.”  (Sahih Muslim)

So, one moment in Paradise is sufficient to make him forget all the suffering and pain in dunya
