I ask: _"Why was I tested?"_
Quraan answers: *“Do men think that they will be left alone saying, ’We believe’, and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.” [29:2-3]*
I ask: _"Why could I never get what I want?"_
Quraan answers: *“It is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing, which is bad for you. But Allah knows, while you know not.” [2:216]*
I ask: _"Why was I burdened this way?"_
Quraan answers: *“Allah does not place a burden to a soul greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns.” [2:286]*
And, *“So verily, with every difficulty there is relief: (repeated) Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.” [94:5-6]*
I ask: _"Why do I lose hope?"_
Quraan answers: *“So lose not heart, nor fall into despair…” [3:139]*
I ask: _"How can I face it?"_
Quraan answers: *“O you who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy; compete in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear Allah that you may prosper.” [3:200]*
And, *“And seek (Allah’s) help with patience, perseverance and prayer: It is indeed hard, except to those who bring a humbly submissive (to Allah).” [2:45]*
I ask: _"What do I get for all these?"_
Quraan answers: *“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and properties (in exchange) for that they will have the garden (of Paradise)…” [9:111]*
I ask: _"To whom can I depend?"_
Quraan answers: *“(Allah) suffices me: there is no god but He: On Him is my trust-He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme.” [9:129]*
I always say: _"But I can’t take it anymore!"_
Quraan answers: *“…and never give up hope of Allah’s Soothing Mercy; truly No one despairs of Allah’s Soothing Mercy. except Those who have no faith.” [12:87]*
And, *“Despairs not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives All sins for He is Often-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [39:53]*
