البلاء والابتلاء
19 verses in 14 surahs · 8 subtopics
Why do trials come, and in what forms? These verses answer that Allah tests people through what He has given them and through the adornments of the earth, to show which of them is best in deeds. They cite prophets who were tested, such as Abraham and Ishmael, the soldiers of Talut (Saul) tried with a river, and the believers tested on the day of the Confederates.

وَإِذِ ٱبْتَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ رَبُّهُۥ بِكَلِمَٰتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ قَالَ إِنِّى جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٢٤
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with words [i.e., commands] and he fulfilled them. [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I will make you a leader for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [Allāh] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers."
