Why Does Allah Test Us?.

Today we’re going to discuss an important part of Islam, which is the topic of trials and tests. There’s a lot of things that we can talk about when it comes to this subject, but let’s focus on two basic questions: why does Allah test us & what should our attitude be when facing a test from Allah?

● Why does Allah test us?

“It is He who created death and life to test which of you are best in deeds, for He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.” (Qur’an 67:2)

Many religions preach that trials and tests are always sent as punishment from God. They claim that if you are afflicted with hardship, such as sickness or loss of wealth, it means you have somehow displeased God. However, this is NOT true in Islam. In Islam, there is no correlation between our present situation and Allah’s attitude toward us. For example, if I lose my job, it doesn’t mean that Allah is angry at me. On the other hand, if I get a pay raise at my job, it doesn’t mean that Allah is happy with me. Instead, Allah presents us with these different situations to see how we react to them.
