Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: I do good deeds and avoid major sins, but Allah does not afflict me with any trial. Should I say that Allah does not love me?
Answer:
Allah knows best. You should hope that Allah loves you, but as for being certain of it, I do not know. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) loves the believer, even if he is a sinner; He loves him according to the amount of faith he possesses. Yes.
