Allah tests a person according to the strength of his religion: if he is firm in his religion, his trial is made commensurately severe; but if there is weakness in his religion, it is made lighter for him.

When Allah loves a people, He tests them. Whoever is content will have His pleasure, and whoever is displeased will have His displeasure.” (3)
