(Or The Trials Through Prosperity And Poverty)
﴿كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ﴾
{Everyone is going to taste
death, and We shall test you with evil and with good by way of trial. And to Us
you will be returned} [Surah
al-Anbiyaa (21): 35]
Ibn Rajab رحمه الله commented,
saying:
“Allaah تعالى has made everything
that afflicts a person – either good or bad – a Fitnah (trial), meaning it is a
calamity by which everyone will be put to test.
