Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله on Trials


Allaah afflicts a servant with trials until he becomes honorable


Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said, 


“Were it not that Allaah the Exalted cured His servants with the medicine of tests and trials, they would transgress and commit evil. When Allaah the Exalted intends goodness for a servant, He makes him drink the medicine of tests and trials from providence according to his situation in order to cure him from deadly diseases, until He purifies him and cleans him and he achieves the most honorable status in the world, that of being a true servant of Allaah, and he is given the GREATEST reward in the Hereafter, that of seeing Allaah and being close to Him.”
