The Holy Qur’an states:
Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, “We believe”, and that they will not be tested? 29:02.
The Holy Qur’an as a revelation stands on its own merits and it is a sign: it teaches the distinction between right and wrong, and shows the importance and excellence of the hereafter. In order for one to hold on strong to their faith, their faith must be tested in the conflicts of practical life, but good can never be submerged. On the contrary Allah (swt) will wash off all stains from those of His servants who strive hard against heavy odds, and admit them to the fellowship of the righteous.
Rejected were the apostles before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can alter the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account of those apostles.6:34.
Life will not be easy, even if one is only doing one of the three virtues: much less engage in all three acts of worship and praises. Shaitan will be very busy working hard to pull one away from these righteous practices. The ones that will achieve salvation are the ones who bear their grief with patience, prayers and constancy, as the Apostles of Allah (swt) did as mentioned in the above verse. Can someone begin to imagine what a fisherman has to go through to catch fish for his livelihood?
Sometime he may even lose his life in the rough ocean, due to the harshness of the huge waves. Well this is how one has to face up to Allah’s (swt) test, trial and tribulations. The more close one get to Allah (swt), the hardest struggle he will have to suffer, but one will not feel their sufferment since Allah (swt) Merciful aid would envelop them from all sides, the ease and the calm will be rewarded in this world and Allah’s (swt) Kingdom will open for the struggled one in the hereafter.
Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah. 33:21.
Danger, difficulties and conflict with evil would envelop us (or foretold us), but Allah (swt) will help us to meet them with fortitude and courage.
And obey not (the behests) of the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and heed not their annoyances, but put thy Trust in Allah. For enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. 33:48
