Allah afflicts a servant with trials until he becomes honorable Ibn Al-Qayyim said, “Were it not that Allah the Exalted cured His servants with the medicine of tests and trials, they would transgress and commit evil. When Allah 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 Allah, and he is given the greatest reward in the Hereafter, that of seeing Allah and being close to Him.” Source: Zaad Al-Ma’ad 179 قال ابن القيم فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ يُدَاوِي عِبَادَهُ بِأَدْوِيَةِ الْمِحَنِ وَالِابْتِلَاءِ لَطَغَوْا وَبَغَوْا وَعَتَوْا وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا سَقَاهُ دَوَاءً مِنَ الِابْتِلَاءِ وَالِامْتِحَانِ عَلَى قَدْرِ حَالِهِ يَسْتَفْرِغُ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَدْوَاءِ الْمُهْلِكَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا هَذَّبَهُ وَنَقَّاهُ وَصَفَّاهُ أَهَّلَهُ لِأَشْرَفِ مَرَاتِبِ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ عُبُودِيَّتُهُ وَأَرْفَعِ ثَوَابِ الْآخِرَةِ وَهُوَ رُؤْيَتُهُ وَقُرْبُهُ
