There is good in every happening

There is some hidden benefit or redeeming factor in every tough situation you encounter, even if it is not visible at the time. This is most perfectly illustrated in the mystical journey Musa (AS) took alongside Khidr, who was granted special knowledge by Allah. Khidr made a hole in a boat, killed a boy, and constructed a wall without demanding payment, and Musa (AS) objected each time. Yet, there was wisdom in every one of these acts: the damaged boat would be of no use to the tyrant king who wanted to seize it; the boy, who would have harmed his parents, would be replaced by a righteous son; and the wall would guard the treasure belonging to two orphan children. In the same way, there may be some good behind a seemingly regrettable situation in your life. It is best to place your trust in Allah.
