Dear Islamic brothers! There are countless wisdoms hidden in every action of Allah Almighty, which we cannot conceive. Sometimes, Allah Almighty sends calamities upon His slaves in order to test them, and when they display patience, He removes their sins and increases their ranks, and sometimes, the reason behind these calamities are our own misdeeds.
