A Primer on Tests - Part 2 (08/04/2019)
from Refined Heart · host Shaykh Ashhar Ali
Tests, trials, tribulations and tragedy are all intrinsically part of the human experience, and our faith in Allah ﷻ makes it easier for us to handle them whenever they befall.. We believe that tests are for everyone, including those most beloved to Allah ﷻ -- even the prophets, such as Ibrahim (AS), were tested by Allah ﷻ. By appreciating that we are not alone, we are provided with a sense of relief. Whenever a difficulty afflicts us, the appropriate response of the believer is “inna lillahi, wa inna ilayhi raji’un” -- Indeed to Allah ﷻ we belong, and indeed to Him is our return. This statement provides a sense of comfort for the believer. We find solace in recognizing that a Higher Being is fully responsible for us, and that, ultimately, we will return to Him in the hereafter, a time and place where all prior difficulties will be forgotten.
