Bela kelimesinin sözlük anlamı imtihandır. Musibet ise imtihanın malzemesini teşkil eden sorulardır. Her musibet bir beladır, fakat her bela musibet değildir. Nitekim Kuran’da bela kelimesi güzel imtihan anlamında da kullanılmıştır. Müslüman, musibetlerin Allah'ın insanlara bir lütfu olduğunu bilmeli, doğru bakış açısı ve yorumlama biçimiyle her musibette gizli olan nimeti görebilmelidir.
Bunu gören insana bu durumun sağlayacağı psikolojik ve fizyolojik faydalar da bulunmaktadır. Başına gelen musibeti kaldırabilme ve değiştirebilme gücü olmayan insanın yapabileceği en mantıklı, sevaplı ve tutarlı davranış biçimi musibette gizli olan hayrı görüp bu durumdan dersler çıkarabilmektir. Ahirette çekilecek olan azap dünyadaki ile kıyaslandığında çok daha zor olduğundan Allah'ın insana musibetler yoluyla verdiği dünyalık sıkıntılar, ahirete kalmadan hesabı ödenen indirimli faturalar gibidir.
The definition of the term ‘trouble’ is ‘being tested’. Calamities, on the other hand, are the problems that constitute the ingredients of that test. Every calamity is a trouble, but not every trouble is a calamity. In fact, the word ‘trouble’ in the Qur'an is also used in the meaning of ‘a beautiful test’. A Muslim should know that calamities are favours from God to the people, and with the right perspective and interpretation, one should be able to see the blessing hidden in every calamity. There are also psychological and physiological benefits that this situation will provide to the person who is able to see that blessing. The most logical, rewarding and consistent way of behaviour that a person who cannot remove or change the calamity s/he is faced, is to see the benefit hidden within that calamity and learn lessons from this situation.
In this article, calamity is defined and the relationship between calamity and the divine law is emphasized. It is explained that in the natural flow of human life, calamities have a place, that people are tested with them, that the people who are loved by God are given great calamities, that there will be a certain reward in the hereafter, that God is not cruel because of this, on the contrary, calamites hide many secrets for the benefit of man. Additionally, while focusing on the reasons for the arrival of the calamities, it is emphasized that calamities can be overcome by the virtue of patience.
