Some of Allah ﷻ biggest blessings upon his Messengers were during their time of solitude:

• The Prophet ﷺ in cave Hirah

• Yunus AS in the belly of a whale

• Nuh AS had a small following for ~1000yrs.

Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allāh. We will thank Him for testing us, for loving us and for giving us more than anyone could imagine.

[Al-Fawā’id | Pg. 119]
