Act Fasting of devotion give us a chance to train ourselves with various Good Deeds, among other train not to be grievanced.
Allah Said :
“Indeed, mankind was created grievance moreever stingy: .....When evil touches him, he will be impatient,.....and when good touches him, he is very stingy”.[Al-Ma`ārij 19-21]
Those who are pious, when want to change his/her condition better, can be done with various means of action. It will usually reduce the habits of grievance.
Allah Said :
"And when they have nearly fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for the acceptance of Allah. That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allah and the Last day. And WHOEVER FEARS ALLAH, HE WILL MAKE FOR HIM A WAY OUT“.[Aţ-Ţalāq 2]
“And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and also for those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And WHOEVER FEARS ALLAH, HE WILL MAKE FOR HIM OF HIS MATTER EASE”.[Aţ-Ţalāq 4]
Pessimistic attitude towards a problem, will bring up various complaints which precisely will add a new problem, namely like bad thought, or despair.
Allah Said :
“O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and DESPAIR NOT OF RELIEF FROM ALLAH. INDEED, NO ONE DESPAIRS OF RELIEF FROM ALLAH EXCEPT THE DISBELIEVING PEOPLE”.[Yūsuf 87]
“They said : "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing”.[Al-Ĥijr 55]

“To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. AND TO ALLAH WILL ALL MATTERS BE RETURNED”.['Āli `Imrān 109]
Essentially grievance is our indication not grateful to His favor. This is also a manifestation of the unsatisfactory feeling, and reflect as we do not accept His determination. Whereas, if only we are grateful, then we will be included to those who will be increased His favor.
Allah Said :
“And remember when your Lord proclaimed : 'IF YOU ARE GRATEFUL, I WILL SURELY INCREASE YOU IN FAVOR; BUT IF YOU DENY, INDEED, MY PUNISHMENT IS SEVERE.'~".['Ibrāhīm 7]
Therefore leave the grievance habit, when facing various matters through improvement of patience.
Allah Said :
“O' my son, establish prayer, enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and BE PATIENT OVER WHAT BEFALLS YOU. INDEED, ALL THAT IS OF THE MATTERS REQUIRING DETERMINATION”.[Luqman 17]
Mighty Right Allah with all His Words.
Allah Said :
“This Holy Quran is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby and that they may know that He is but one God and that those of understanding will be reminded”.['Ibrāhīm 52]
