Life is a Test Specially for those Who Believe

Everything in this life is a test specially for the Believers. Happiness, Joy, Sorrow, Having Wealth and Children, Loss of Wealth and Childern, Even Life and Death are all a test from Our Lord in order to expose and filter the liars and the True Believers. Be aware that the blessings of Wealth is a great test at the same time, He the Almighty may test you to see how arrogant, self-centered, selfish you become by giving you lots of Wealth or prove to be generous and giving back to the poor and needy. As it happens to us that when Allah blesses one of us with some wealth and we drive around in our BMWs and Mercedezes looking down at others..... And the lack of wealth or poverty could as well be a test to see whether you despair and get into the business of unlawful earnings and lose your faith...Or He the Almighty may test you with Sorrow and loss of a dear one....

But keep one thing in mind though, That He the Almighty is Exremely Just, Extremely Wise, Extremely Merciful and Gracious, He will not test you with something that you can not bear. The most severely tested human beings were the Prophets of Allah, and perhaps they were tested due to their level of Imaan (Faith) and the best example is Prophet Ibraheem (pbuh). Allah has not promised us a flowery road to Eternal Life of Bless in Paradise but, a tough, thorny road full of trials and tribulations, but certainly that Destination is worth all the hardships. If we look at the wisdom in this logically, it does make sense that the one who tries hard deserves the best. If one wants to become a Doctor, he or she must go through a lot of sacrifice of his and her time, long nights of studying while others are enjoying sleep, locked up in a library with books while others are having fun and on top of all of these; this person must go through some really hard and long Tests in order to become a doctor. But the end or the future of this person is fairly better than the one who wasted all his or her time in vanities. In the same way, all those who struggle hard in the path of righteousness and give lots of sacrifices deserve the gift of Jannah from their Lord. So be aware of this fact, if you claim to believe in Allah and His Messenger then be ready for some sort of Test of this claim that you make, because Allah says the following in His Holy Book:

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴿١٥٥﴾ الَّذِينَ إِذَا

أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ﴿١٥٦﴾ أُولَٰئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ
۱۵۵ البقره
And We will most certainly try you with somewhat of fear and hunger and loss of property and lives and fruits; and give good news to the patient,
Who, when a misfortune befalls them, say: Surely we are Allah's and to Him we shall surely return. Those are they on whom are blessings and mercy from their Lord, and those are the followers of the right course.

أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ ﴿٢﴾ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ
العنکبوت
(2) Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, We believe, and not be tried?
(3) And certainly We tried those before them, so Allah will certainly know (Expose) those who are true and He will certainly know (Expose) the liars.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۗ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
الانبیا ۳۵
(35) Every soul must taste of death and We try you by bad and good by way of probation; and to Us you shall be brought back.

وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ
الانفال ۲۸
(28) And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allah is a mighty reward.
