Intensify, O crisis, so you may be resolved
The more intense the crisis, the more it will be resolved.

Many people face many problems in their lives, and each one differs in how they solve the problem that disturbs and disrupts their life, preventing them from continuing their life normally. The degree of complexity of the problem varies according to the circumstances surrounding it, and solving any problem and unraveling its knot primarily depends on the person's ability to manage that problem or dilemma, and to fully understand all its aspects correctly and realistically. Taking into account the main cause of its appearance, there are small problems that may take hours or perhaps one day to solve and remove their cause and effect, others of medium complexity that require days to solve and finish, and stubborn problems that take months and perhaps years to solve. The most common are marital problems and criminal cases, which have the greatest impact and leave deep scars in a person's life, especially if the problem is related to the person's reputation and existence. These are undoubtedly among the most difficult and complex problems, where a person may lose their rights, especially if it involves defamation and violation of their being as a human with rights and duties. The pain multiplies if problems accumulate on them, making it very difficult to find a way out of the predicament they have put themselves in due to poor judgment of matters, or being dragged into a problem or dilemma in which they have no part or stake.
The problems a person faces are many; there are family problems, livelihood problems, health problems, and legal problems. As mentioned earlier, people vary in their way of dealing with hardships and adversities that encounter them unexpectedly in their life journey. As Ibn Khaldun said: "People are equal in tranquility, but when hardships come, they differ." Some benefit from their hardship to take lessons and morals from it, strengthening their determination and deepening their faith. As the Egyptian writer Mustafa Amin said: "Every bitter hardship I faced filled my empty cup with patience and faith." Thus, patience is the key to any problem and the strong shield that protects a person from any effect of a hardship they have gone through. It opens new horizons for their outlook on life, different from their previous view, helping them to evaluate and correct it better. Patience is one of the strongest and most powerful weapons a person arms themselves with to face life's challenges and problems, as it teaches them to be deliberate in dealing with various life situations they encounter in their life journey. Patience urges them to train themselves to endure hardships and face them with wisdom, calmness, and composure, looking at matters from the perspective of realism and the principles of their faith, which also assist them in solving their problem, so that no one is wronged and they ensure their emergence from their crisis strong, with solid determination and experience to rely on in their coming days and future. There is a type of people who do not learn lessons from the problems they face, so problems continue to chase them until they wake up from their negligence or judge themselves to carry the burden of problems and crises throughout their life.
