Trials

Bismillah

Indeed, every muslim can simply say that they believe in Allah. They, will not do bad stuffs and obey all the rules set by Him. 

I as well can say that I'm trustworthy and reliable, will you swiftly believe?

Someone told me that, there will be moment in our life that we will really be tested. 

If we picture life as a wheel, we would be at the bottom. Hit by hard stones and  stained by mud and dirt.

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?
But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars. ( Al 'Ankabut: 2-3)

Allah promised us that, we will be tested.

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the help of Allah ?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near. (Al-Baqarah: 214)

I may not know the hardships that you went through.

Some might lost the one they love most

Some might be chained by poverty and sadness

Some may always be bullied and alienated by others 

or some might lost his dream, a dream that he wanted most

No matter what is it, everything is from Allah

There are reasons behind those hardships

Perhaps He loves you, seeing you getting further from Him, a small hardship would make you realise its time to return to your creator.

Perhaps seeing your faith is getting weaker, a small trials would revive the iman.

Maybe we forget where we stand in this world, a small trial would make you realise how small your are compared to Him.

Some said, sometimes be grateful is harder than patience

Someone failed in his end of year exam.

"Be patience, He will show you the way"

and we keep calm and stay patience.

But, how many would say Alhamdulillah when troubles come unexpectedly?

Verily, He knows us best.

He would never burden us with something unbearable. 

He would never be cruel to His servants.

Be like the Sahabah, who eagerly waiting for trials from Allah. Moments they were free of any trials, their hearts felt anxious and worries as if God had forgotten them.

 We lay everything that happen as from Allah, surely the heart will seek peace and calm. Indeed,  never those happen for nothing rather for our own good. 

Inshaallah. :)

Amin.
