The stronger your faith, the greater will be your test
A stricter test may not always be in the form of sadness and grief, though it may seem like one... Sometimes, wealth and comfort are a bigger test.
All of us are being tested, some by poverty, others by wealth, some by patience, and others by gratitude. Some are tested by social situations, such as being with a family, where the test is in speech and mannerisms, while others are tested in solitude, where they are tested with their thoughts and intentions.
The key is to recognize our tests. Every day is a test. Allah gives us trials in different scenarios to check whether we reach out to Him or not. Do we continue to live neglectfully or stay connected to Him? It is high time that we evaluate our lives. Are we tested with ease or difficulty? Remember, the easier the paper, the more difficult the checking. The easier our lives are, the more questions we will be asked in Akhirah.
"Do people think that they will be left (at ease) only on their saying, “We believe” and will not be put to any test?" (Qur'an, Al-'Ankabut 29:2)
