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.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ١٠٢
And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."
