Calamities may happen..
> Only to make u SIN-FREE
> Only to make you realize that MIRACLES do happen !
> Only to strengthen your Eeman,your Faith in Allah subhanahu wa tala.
> Only to make you realize that there is a Creator,who Loves you,Cares for you and Wants the best for you.
Tests are not just limited to see whether one performs the rituals or not. His belief and commitments to Allah (swt), and his focus in the Hereafter will be fully and thoroughly tested with calamities and afflictions to gauge the depth of his faith in his heart.
Achieving Paradise will not be easy.
It will come only with unshakable faith and trust in Allah (swt).
Allah, may He be glorified, says:
"Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in your personal selves."
(3:186)
"Do men think that they will be left alone on saying “We believe” and that they will not be tested?"
(29:2)
"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil); but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere."
(2:155)
Ah! To how many believers these verses come out as relief and solace!
How many hearts of believers, with wild storms and waves in there, have calm down when remembering these
verses! Their souls then speak out:
“Yeah, we are tested because we are righteous believers.”
Trials are a Sign of Love By Allah.
The Prophet (p) said: "When Allah who is Great and Glorious loves people He afflicts them [with trials]."
(Tirmidhi)
Sometimes when you Forget Him,
When you become distant from Him,
When you cause harm to yourself (intentionally or unintentionally),
He says:
"O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?"
(ibn kathir tafsir-meaning of this Ayah is,
"O Son of Adam! What has deceived you from your Lord, the Most Generous -- meaning the Most Great -- so that you went forth disobeying Him, and you met Him with that which was unbefitting.'')
Allah also says:
Say,
“O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
Qur’an [39:53]
The punishment in the Hereafter is much severe – in fact unimaginable from our worldly perspective–than
any affliction one can face in this world.
Therefore, when Allah (swt) loves someone and intends for him or her to go to Paradise, He wipes out his
sins and mistakes and rewards him highly,by putting him to afflictions in this world.
Allah Never Gives a Trial That is Too Great to Bear Human beings are created weak (4:28 ).
When a sudden calamity or distress befalls us, we easily become overwhelmed and often cry out,
“O Allah! This is too much for me to bear!”
Remember Allah is Just and He never burdens a soul beyond what it can bear ! Subhanallah !
Therefore, no matter how difficult your situation is or how severe your sufferings,you should have absolutely
no doubt in your mind,Allah has given you the ability to deal with the trial.
Every affliction that Allah tests his faithful servant with, there is always two viable outcome for him:
1.passing the test with success and thus earning
Allah’s good pleasure, or
2.failing it. "The Stronger the Faith, the Harder the Test, and the Greater the Reward."
Now the question is, Why is it that people who are faithful and righteous should have to suffer?
To get an answer, we should ask ourselves:
Is there any achievement without an effort or any fruit without labour?
"The believing man or woman continues to have affliction in person, property and children so that they may
finally meet Allah, free from sin."
(Tirmidhi)
The Prophet (p) said: "How wonderful is the case of a believer! There is good for him in everything, and this is not the case with anyone except a believer. If prosperity attends him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is better for him." (Muslim)
