According to the holy Qur’aan, Allaah Kareem will surely test every
person who claims to be a Muslim. This test is to reveal who is truthful in
their faith and who is untruthful. How does Allaah Kareem test? In the holy Qur’aan HE says:

Each person is tested according to
their capability and ability. Who is right or wrong? Who is real or fake? Who
is honest or dishonest? All this is confirmed by a test.Only those who are not confident are frightened
of a test or trial.
