Opinion: Why Allah Almighty Tests His Servants, By Murtadha Gusau
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.
So how can we choose to have more patience and contentment when tested and tried? Please read the following suggestions:Make Du’a for Allah’s help, strength, and relief from the test – just as Prophet Ya’qub , and Maryam and the Prophet Muhammad all did.Gratitude puts our tests in perspective and stops us from complaining; it is the greatest route towards Patience .
Having patience with blessings is also shown by utilising the good things Allah gave us – if it is money, do we spend it freely in the way of Allah, or do we hold back? If it is knowledge, or free time, or good health, or youthfulness, how do we use these blessings? It is not always easy to be generous with those blessings, and to use them for Allah rather than the ego – that is a great test and trial too.
The only thing that was steady during this awful time was our prayers, even after all those feelings of loss; We kept up with our prayers. We didn’t let that go because deep down we knew the tough days would pass by the help of Allah Almighty. We knew He would guide us – He is Al-Hadiy and Ar-Rashid. We knew He loved people who were committed to Him. Allah the Most High says:We prayed at home, and then slowly – at a snail’s pace, we started going out to the Mosque.
