WHY DOES ALLAH GIVE US TRIALS? Trials occur for one of three reasons: [1] Due to sins: the sign of which is impatience, restlessness and complaining; [2] As an expiation for sins: the sign of which is patience and obedience being easy on the body; [3] To raise one’s rank: the sign of which is calm and contentment along with obedience being easy for the body and heart. [Nahlawi, al-Durar al-Mubaha] In any case, one should understand the hidden blessing of the trial. Renew one’s repentance, resolve, and turning to Allah, and seek out the people of knowledge and righteousness striving to be counted amongst them. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “How amazing is the believer’s affair! Allah decrees nothing for the servant except that it is good for him.” [Musnad Ahmad] Keep growing, keep going forward, and remember: Allah alone gives success. :)
