Sulaiman Moola. He mentioned something very beautiful(to the nearest meaning) "Having Allah(SWT) on your side does not mean sailing in a ship with no waves, instead it is to sail in such a ship which no storm can sink...". Perhaps that helps. Allah Hafiz I had the oppurtunity of listening to a very good talk on this topic by a South African scholar, Sh. Sulaiman Moola.

With regards the the specifc quote mentioned,I have a couple of questions. If one`s heart were not attached to "other than Allah" is that a guarentee for not facing trails and calamities? Or is it that one`s "understanding" of these trials changes [i.e one looks at the bigger picture ] such that one is no longer upset by them? Jazakum Allah khayr. Asalamu ala`ykum warahmatulah wabarakatuh.
