Life Is A Test

Life Is A Test
If Allah Answers Your Prayers,
He is Increasing Your Faith.
If He Delays,
He is Increasing Your Patience.
If He Does Not Answer,
He Has Something Better For You.

        Allah tells us that we will be tested. He also makes clear to us what is expected of us when we submit to these tests and what our reward will be if we succeed.
        He says, "Be sure to test them with some fear and hunger, loss of goods, lives and fruits (of their labor), but good news to those who persevere patiently." Those who, when misfortune strikes them, say: To Allah and to Him is our return. Those sons of whom blessings son and mercy of their Lord and son of those who rightly guided "[Surah al-Baqarah: 155]


        Allah tells us in the Qur'an that this life is a test for believers and from time to time will be difficult. The result is the important thing and we should not worry about the annoyances of this life, but look forward to the next life.
        The Muslim can be tested for all kinds of difficulties such as illness, lack of income and disobedience of his children. In fact, the many afflictions that can affect a person are incalculable. This is the point that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was emphasizing when he mentioned: "fatigue, sickness, anxiety, pain, pain or sadness ... to the point of a thorn pricking."          All these afflictions, if patiently endured by the believer, are a means to attain the forgiveness of Allah as well as his reward.
