Allah has told us in the glorious Qur'an that our faith will be tested. He said: "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)
You patience will be tested. Your character will be tested with gain and loss in wealth, health, power and authority, and knowledge. If these tests are frequent, know that it is for your own good. There is a lesson to be learned from them.
These tests are for you to learn and grow. If your invocations to Allah increase because of them you are rewarded. They also teach you who is in charge when your arrogance and ignorance tell you that "I am self-sufficient."
Tests from Allah are good for us and they carry many purposes. These tests allow us to reflect and correct our wrong actions. They give us the opportunity to repent. They also prepare us for a great reward that Allah has in store for us.
