In the verse, "Every soul shall taste death: and We test you by evil and
by good by way of trial. To Us must you return," (Surat al-Anbiya: 35),
Allah states that He tests man through good as well as bad events.
That many people are affected by a disaster is the riddle of this test.
One should always keep in mind that Allah is the All-Knowing Judge and
"the Decision between them at judgement will be in perfect justice." (Surat
az-Zumar: 75).
All events happening to a person in this life are a part of the test. Those
who are truly believers comprehend the essence of this riddle. Whenever
a misfortune befalls them, they turn to Allah alone and repent. They are
servants of Allah and are aware of the promise of Allah:
Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in
goods and lives and the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those
who patiently persevere, who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we
belong, and to Him is our return". They are those on whom (descend) bless-
ings from Allah, and mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.
(Surat al-Baqarah: 155- 157)
