"Subhanallah, a young brother had an accident and became blind, may Allah grant him patience. He was asked how he was going to cope with his blindness, and he gave us some of the best advice I heard in my life, which I didn't expect:
"Before becoming blind, when I used to play a videogame and then it becomes boring, I would simply increase the level of difficulty to hard and it becomes fun again. That's how I see it. Allah has increased the difficulty of my life from easy to hard, and I accept that challenge and find joy in it! So my advice to everyone, blind or not, if you feel your life is boring, chances that you are not challenging yourself enough. Increase your life level and worship level to a higher level, and enjoy the challenge, and remember, a harder game comes with higher scores and reward, so Allah will reward you accordingly!"
Honestly, tell me how many people you know have that strong Eman in Allah in that way when a catastrophe strikes them! And I like how he described it in his own youthful way with the game analogy. May Allah reward him and help us step up to our life challenges. Truly, some people are blind but Allah gave them the light of wisdom, and some people have eyes but they chose the blindness of the heart. Now go challenge yourself! "
