moments of difficulty, when faced by any trouble or sickness,
or when confronted with any form of cruelty or injustice. They
must see that such events are created by our Lord, out of His
wisdom, for Allah uses such tests to reveal their true moral val-
ues. He promises that those who exhibit the proper moral val-
ues will be given a great reward in this life and the next. Our
Lord reveals that:

We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger,
as well as loss of wealth, life, and fruits. But give good
news to the steadfast. (Surat al-Baqara: 155)
Every person will taste death. We test you with both good
and evil as a trial. And you will be returned to Us. (Surat
al-Anbiya: 35)
