Faith is both light and strength. Indeed, a person who attains true faith can challenge the universe and, in proportion to the strength of their faith, be saved from the pressures of events. Saying, 'I place my trust in Allah,' they travel aboard the ship of life in complete safety amidst the mountain-like waves of events. They entrust all their burdens to the hand of power of the Absolutely Powerful One, pass through this world with ease, and rest in the intermediate realm (Barzakh). Afterward, they can fly to Paradise to enter eternal happiness. Otherwise, if they do not practice trust in God (tawakkul), the burdens of this world will cause them not to fly, but rather to sink down to the lowest of the low (asfal as-safilin).
