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.

إِذْ جَآءُوكُم مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ ٱلْأَبْصَٰرُ وَبَلَغَتِ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٱلْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلظُّنُونَا۠ ١٠
[Remember] when they came at you from above you and from below you, and when eyes shifted [in fear], and hearts reached the throats, and you assumed about Allāh [various] assumptions.
