I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim
[Quran 2:185]:
[quote]“God does not test a soul with more than it can handle. For it is what it has earned and against it is what it has earned. Our Lord, do not hold us accountable when we forget or make mistakes. Our lord, do not place on us such burdens like how you placed those before us. Our Lord, do not make us bear that which is beyond our abilities. Overlook us, Forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Lord, so assist us against the disbelieving people.”[/quote]
[Quran 94:5]:
[quote]"[b]With hardship comes ease.[/b]"[/quote]
[Quran 7:168]:
[quote]"And We tested them with fortunes and misfortunes, so that they may return."[/quote]
When God answers my prayers, He is increasing my faith. When God delays the answer, He is increasing my patience. When God does not answer my prayer, He has something better for me. That test from God should make us stronger, not weaker.
One way to test our heart on whether it's dead or alive is its response to the call of prayer and how quick our respond.
