Question:
This is Abu Malik. He says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, I am confused about how to reconcile the texts that indicate the believer lives a good and happy life in this world, with the texts that indicate the believer is tested in this life.
Answer:
There is no contradiction between them. The trial is one of the complements of the good life, in order to purify his life from what causes distress through the pains and hardships he encounters. This is what completes it, if he is patient with it, repents to Allah, and pays attention to himself. Yes.
