The Teachings of Islam
Testing Man’s Fitness
~ 62 ~
Everything man experiences in this world, be it
power or weakness, wealth or poverty, is a test.
Worldly triumph is no cause to rejoice; nor should
worldly loss cause one grief. Both winner and loser
are being tested to see how they react to their
respective situations. It is on the basis of this
reaction that they will be adjudged fit for either
heaven or hell.
