Tribulation is portrayed as a profound state of suffering that both tests and ultimately transforms those who endure it. In religious texts, it appears as an inevitable period of hardship that believers are called to accept with perseverance and faith, as seen when receiving divine instruction amid trials ([1], [2]) or when suffering is reinterpreted as a means to attain a higher spiritual glory ([3], [4]). This concept traverses genres, finding its place not only in sacred writings but also in secular literature, where it describes personal, often transformative, experiences of intense sorrow or difficulty—as in the inner struggles depicted in narrative arcs that reveal character growth or the inevitability of human pain ([5], [6], [7], [8]). Thus, tribulation serves as both a symbol of divine testing and a metaphor for the redemptive power inherent in overcoming life's most arduous moments ([9], [10]).
