There are people who say, Why is this happening to me when I pray five times a day as well as the head Judo as well as my sunnah as well as my inner failure when I'm honest, when I'm a good person, when I don't cheat when I don't steal when I don't hurt people, why can I not get a job? Why have I lost my job? Why did I lose a family member? Be it a child or a spouse or a parent or a sibling, whoever it may be? Why did for example, my factory burned down? Why did for example, my health degenerate, Allah says, It's got nothing to do with whether you've prayed or not. It's got nothing to do with whether you are close to us or not. In fact, if anything, the closer you get to Allah, a
sign of it is that he is going to test you more. The prophets Allah salaam says clearly. When Allah loves his slave, his worshiper, then he tests him real tests. So you lost your job, you just cannot get another job. Something went wrong in your life. It's just not coming right? Do you know what sticking there? Don't give up. Continue to obey Allah. Don't think because I'm a pious person or because I read Quran every day. I'm not going to be tested you will be tested but Allah will give you contentment throughout your test.
