The soul is trained through hardships and ordeals.

Allah has given pain but He also has given medicine. Allah created modern medicine to sooth the pain. No one ever faces anything that he/she cannot bear.

According to what has been foretold in the Hadiths; The students of the Mahdi will be tested with diseases and with sorrow. With the appearance of Mahdi (pbuh) Allah will take away diseases and the sorrow from them.

Profound faith, that is the greatest blessing. Submission to Allah and profound faith.. That is because Allah tests people with many things. Some people squirm in these tests from time to time. That is a grave mistake. Good opinion of and love for Allah should never be given up. Allah should never be opened to discussion. A Muslim devotes himself to Allah with such a profound love that he never ever gives up his good opinion and love for Allah, not even momentarily.

Allah does not give all kinds of blessings at the very same time. When He gives blessings from one side, He creates a shortcoming from another, so that people would be tested.

The archangels Gabriel and Michael are constantly on Mahdi (pbuh)'s side but Mahdi does not see them. Our Prophet (saas) says "He is backed up with three thousand angels." Apart from that they are with him wherever he goes to. Gabriel and Michael never leave his side. But Mahdi (pbuh) cannot see them. Otherwise the free will of his mind would be removed, his testing would end.

Believers are put to the test through hardship. This world is not a place of fun. There will be trouble and you will persevere.

ALLAH PUTS US ON TRIAL, FOR ALMIGHTY ALLAH WANTS GENUINE LOVE. If everyone loves one another like robots, if Allah made it obligatory for them, you would be loving each other under compulsion. That is not what Allah wants. ALLAH WANTS US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AMID PAIN, SUFFERING AND HARDSHIP.

IF A PERSON GETS ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD, HE SUFFERS A LOT. ONCE HE IS NOT ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD, HE WANTS ALLAH, because Almighty Allah essentially wants Himself to be the loved one.

A human being is a very fragile being. Allah says in the Qur’an, “Man is created weak.” Whether a man or a woman, they are all weak. They are easily negatively affected. They may get exhausted easily, feel exhausted and get sick easily. As a requisite of the trial in this world, they are created in that manner. That is because Allah does not want us to love this world.

No miracle would ever remove the freewill of mind. We are in a world of testing. Some people assume that – for instance- the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) would make a sign with his hand and food would instantly appear on the table. How is that possible? It would be unjust for other ummahs. Almighty Allah would not do such a thing. Nothing that would remove the freewill of mind would ever happen. When the Prophet Jesus prays, they find a table set for them in the other room.

We will never be bored in the Heaven, everything that we like will be there. Feelings like boredom and rage are given specifically to us in this world. In the Heaven these feelings will be taken from the hearts of people.

According to the signs in the Qur'an and the hadiths, Mahdi (pbuh) will go through very tough testings and difficult trials.

One needs to welcome all sorts of tests that come on his/her way with joy and do well by them with the utmost effort. A tough test coming on one's way means a ship full of gold is coming to him. Sometimes tests might seem to be difficult but they are all full of good deeds.

If you say you are in love with Allah, how will you show that love? The struggle you make against hardship, advocating the Beloved One under the hardest of circumstances and siding with Him. Then your faith, love and compassion becomes evident. Otherwise it is not recognized.

Allah does not create this world to make us go through suffering. Allah does not create this world in order to create a hellish environment. He does not want to create a world bereft of artistry and beauty.

The trial in this world is absolutely essential. Think about that for a moment, otherwise a world would not be possible. In the absence of trial everything loses its meaning, may Allah forbid. The system becomes ruined. An easy trial is not a trial. It must be a reasonable trial, insha’Allah.

IN THE ABSENCE OF THE TEST EVERYTHING COMES TO AN END, MAY ALLAH FORBID. EVERYTHING LOSES ITS MEANING. Love, friendship, life, everything ceases to have any meaning, becomes nothing. Nothing beautiful remains left. For instance, the beauty of woman no longer means anything. The beauty of flowers, the beauty of plants, the entire universe is devastated.

This world is a place like a course. After this training we will go to our real abode.

If a person goes through the suffering of Hazrat Mahdi (as) only for a day, a person who does not act in compliance with the Qur’an, may Allah forbid, may deny Allah. Only one day. While it stirs up one’s love for Allah, it may make a person with weak faith lose his belief. That is the secret of the test.

Allah creates the test perfectly. He trains good people in this world and gives them the training of the Heaven.

In this world, we are being trained for the Paradise, we are being educated for that. For us to receive such training there is the need for the antichrists, for Pharaohs and Nimrods. Without them, there will be no training.

Antichrists, pharaohs should exist for people to be tested. In an environment in which there are no pharaohs and no antichrists, there will be no test.

There will be a global reign of Islam for 7 years. Almighty Allah enables such a symbolic reign. That is because during the global reign, there will not be an environment suitable for test.

The increase in the number of people that stand against, that talks sharp and harsh words, that displays offensive manners would increase the good deeds a Muslim attains.
