Allah, the Lord of Honor, created us humans with His perfect power and sent us into this world with a fixed deadline. This world is not a place for sightseeing, not a place for entertainment, not a place for rest, and not a permanent abode, but rather a pure testing ground. Alas, we have turned it into a pasture instead of a testing ground.

We have been created for testing. "Al-dunya daru al-mihan" meaning this world is the home of trials. Every human being is being tested in some form or another. Everyone's circumstances are different; Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, tests some by giving and tests others by taking away. One person is buying a shroud for his son, and another is buying clothes for his son's wedding. One young man is bringing his bride home, and another is carrying the funeral of his life partner on his shoulders. Someone has received immense profit in business, and someone else has suffered severe losses. Someone is blessed with the blessing of health, and someone else is afflicted with the trial of illness.
This world is indeed a testing ground; here, circumstances change, and days revolve. When Allah Almighty bestows, He sees whether the servant gives thanks or not, and when He takes back, He sees whether the servant perseveres or not. The one who gives thanks is also successful, and the one who perseveres is also triumphant, because there is glad tidings of Paradise for both.
So, for the believer, there is goodness in every situation. This is the fundamental lesson that we need to understand and remember.
