On the one hand, every human being always considers himself needy and belongs to the existence of God, and on the other hand, he encounters problems during his life that show various behaviors in dealing with these sufferings, both consciously and unconsciously. But the fundamental question here is, if a person is united and has a monotheistic worldview, what will he do when he has problems? Tolerating adversity with monotheism are two important teachings in Quranic and mystical culture that are deeply related to each other; For he who believes in God and believes in the goodness of God and knows that God is the Absolute Knowledge, considers evil events to be in his best interest and considers them to be a divine test and the cause of his awakening; Of course, the stronger the faith, the greater the person’s resistance to adversity. In other words, man, through material appointments, knows all actions from God, so he finds his existence only in that sacred realm. Therefore, he considers the calamities of life as a ladder for progress and growth, and this will bring him peace. Therefore, in order to increase its tolerance in the light of mystical knowledge, it seeks the help of Quranic solutions.The purpose of this article is to study these Qur’anic solutions with a mystical approach in a descriptive and fundamental method.
