In the Qur'an Allah mentions about life, wealth, health and children sometimes as a gift for the righteous and sometimes as a punishment for the evil. How do we know that which is given to us is a blessing or a punishment.
Join Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi in today's Ramadan Qur'anic Gem where he gives a commentary on Surat Al-'Anbyā' verses 34 - 35 and 83 - 84, and learn about the reality of our calamities and blessings.
"And We did not grant to any man before you eternity; so if you die - would they be eternal? Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned." ~ [Surat Al-'Anbyā', verses 34 & 35]
"And (mention) Job (Ayyūb), when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful." So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him (back) his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers (of Allah)." ~ [Surat Al-'Anbyā', verses 83 & 84]

The intellectual richness of Islamic Theology provides us with many reasons for having trials, some of which include:
1. The primary purpose of the human being is not happiness rather it is to know and worship God. This fulfilment of the divine purpose will result in everlasting bliss and happiness. So if this is our primary purpose other aspects of human experience our secondary. The Qur’an, the book of the Muslims states: “I did not create either jinn or man except to worship Me.” [Qur’an 51:56-57]
There are among men some who serve Allah, as it were, on the verge: if good befalls them, they are, therewith, well content; but if a trial comes to them, they turn on their faces: they lose both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss. (Sūrat'l- Ḥajj: 11)
The majority of the mufāsirūn said that عَلَى حَرْف (on the verge) means 'in doubt'. As if a person who is standing on the edge of a mountain, a person who worships Allah on the verge is unstable, flustered, weak and doubtful. Some mufāsirūn said that it means 'with condition', i.e. a person will continue worshipping Allah if he acquires good, but he turns back to disbelief when he is afflicted with things he dislikes. [Tafsīr Fathul Qadir, Imam Muhammad Ash-Shaukani]
Ibn Abbās explained this situation further in regard to people who came to Madinah to declare themselves as Muslims. He said:
“One of them would come to Madinah, which was a land that was infected with a contagious disease. If he remained healthy there, and his mare foaled and his wife gave birth to a boy, he would be content, and would say, `I have not experienced anything but good since I started to follow this religion.” But if a fitnah (affliction) strikes him (i.e. the disease of Madinah befalls him, and his wife gives birth to a baby girl and charity is delayed in coming to him), the Shayṭān comes to him and says: 'By Allāh, since you started to follow this religion of yours, you have experienced nothing but bad things', and this is the fitnah.” [Tafsīr al- Qur'ān al-Adheem, Imam Ibn Kathīr]
God also created us for a test, and part of this test is to be tested with suffering and evil. The Qur’an mentions “The One Who created death and life, so that He may put you to test, to find out which of you is best in deeds: He is the all-Almighty, the all-Forgiving” [Qur’an 67: 2]
We are bound to be tested and pushed to our limits, each of us to our own level. When Maryam was delivering her son all alone, she said, “Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!” (19:23) The tafseer mentions that Maryam (alayha salaam) was not only in physical pain and solitude, but also experiencing the pain of ostracism and isolation that occurs when you are telling the truth but no one believes you. She spoke these words at a time when she had already been given the good news of being chosen above all women and that her son would be a Prophet of Allah. This reminds us that even the best people, whom Allah has clearly chosen, are still human. Everyone's patience and steadfastness is pushed to the limit at one time or another. Everyone reaches a point where they contemplate just giving up, but that doesn't mean that it's all over. You must always put your trust in Allah and keep going. Remember, these are words said by Maryam, the best woman to walk on the earth! This shows us that being patient doesn't necessarily mean that you won't ever become overwhelmed, or won't ever complain, but patience is when you do get overwhelmed and still keep going, and only complain to Allah. (12:85) Sabr does not mean that you are happy with the decree of Allāh, sabr means that you accept the decree of Allah even if you don't understand it.
3. Having hardship and suffering enables us to realise and know God’s attributes such as ‘the Victorious’ and ‘the Healer’. For example without the pain and suffering of illness we would not appreciate the attribute of God being ‘the Healer’. Knowing God and revering Him is a greater good, and worth the experience of suffering or pain as it will mean the fulfilment of our primary purpose.
Trials help us to acknowledge, appreciate and firmly believe in some of the Divine attributes of Allah.
When we suffer and we supplicate to Allah and He removes our suffering then the attributes of Allah are manifested to us, such as; God is the Answerer, Helper, Patron, Healer, Acceptor of repentance, Forgiver and the Curer.
“And who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except those who are astray?” (15:56) Never, ever, dear believer, lose hope in the Mercy of Allah. After Ya'qub (alayhi salaam) tells his sons that he only complains to Allah, he says in the next āyah, “And never give up hope of Allāh's Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allah’s Mercy except the people who disbelieve.” (Quran 12:87)
Only the disbelievers despair in the Mercy of Allah because they are not aware of His Wisdom, His Knowledge, His Most Beautiful Names and Attributes, and that His Mercy extends to all things.
