2:214
أَمْ
حَسِبْتُمْ
أَن
تَدْخُلُوا
الْجَنَّةَ
وَلَمَّا
يَأْتِكُم
مَّثَلُ
الَّذِينَ
خَلَوْا
مِن
قَبْلِكُم
مَّسَّتْهُمُ
الْبَأْسَاءُ
وَالضَّرَّاءُ
وَزُلْزِلُوا
حَتَّى
يَقُولَ
الرَّسُولُ
وَالَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
مَعَهُ
مَتَى
نَصْرُ
اللَّهِ
أَلَا
إِنَّ
نَصْرَ
اللَّهِ
قَرِيبٌ

Would you think that you could go to Paradise without experiencing the kind of suffering others have experienced before you? Distress and afflictions battered them until the Messenger and the believers said, "When will God send help?" Certainly God's help is near.
