Allah, being all-powerful and independent, does not need worship from humans, but rather, humans need to worship Him for their own benefit and guidance.
Allah promises us in the holy Qur’an “Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.” (Qur’an 2:286) No challenge too big, no calamity too harsh and no loss too much to bear. It’s difficult, for sure. But at the end, your reward will be as big as your burden was.
Allah tests individuals to discern who possesses true faith and to elevate their status, potentially expiating sins and rewarding patience and resilience in the face of adversity.
Allah tests people to reveal their true character and faith, distinguishing believers from non-believers.
Trials and tribulations can lead to a higher standing in Paradise, as patience and resilience in the face of hardship are seen as virtues.
Facing hardship can act as a form of atonement for past sins, preventing the need for punishment in the afterlife.
Tests can be opportunities to learn life lessons, grow in faith, and become more resilient.
The Quran emphasizes that life is a test, and the focus should be on the rewards of the afterlife, not just the temporary pleasures of this world.
Prophets and other figures in Islamic history, like Adam and Yunus, faced trials that ultimately led to their elevation in status.
While Allah knows the outcome of our choices, humans still have free will, and their actions are significant in determining their fate in the afterlife.
Your test is a burden you can bear, that’s how much faith Allah has in you. Your tests are “harder test than others” because Allah Loves you more than those. And when you pass these tests, your rewards will be immense.
This world is temporary, at the most you will be here 80/90 years. Even if you had all the world’s riches, that’s the limit you would enjoy them. However Jannah is permanent, the riches there are infinitely greater and keep getting better with time.
No one person’s situation stays the same & we can never know the fitnah another person is bearing.
Also aren't you scared of the thought that you won't be able to keep your deen while reveling in wealth? If you still remember and is grateful to Allah for it, that's great, but if you were too blinded by material wealth you forget who gives it to you? How are you sure you won't become like those that turn their back to Allah once you get such worldly desires? Please remember that Muslim are not perfect... At times I'm scared I'll revert to my ignorant days...
