Why am I being tested?
DO MEN THINK that on their [mere] saying, "We have attained to faith", they will be left to themselves, and will not be put to a test? Yea, indeed, We did test those who lived before them; and so, [too, shall be tested the people now living: and] most certainly will God mark out those who prove themselves true, and most certainly will He mark out those who are lying.
- Surah Al-Ankabut : 2-3

Why I do not acquire my heart desires ?
".. Even though it be hateful to you; but it may well be that you hate a thing the while it is good for you, and it may well be that you love a thing the while it is bad for you: and God knows, whereas you do not know. ."
- Surah Al-Baqarah : 216

Why THIS test ?
"God does not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear:"
- Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 286

Frustrated?
"Be not, then, faint of heart, and grieve not: for you are bound to rise high if you are [truly] believers.." - Surah Al-Imran ayat 139

Overcome tests?
"O you who have attained to faith! Be patient in adversity, and vie in patience with one another, and be ever ready [to do what is right], and remain conscious of God, so that you might attain to a happy state! "- Surah Al-Imran : 200
"And seek aid in steadfast patience and prayer: and this, indeed, is a hard thing for all but the humble in spirit" - Surah Al-Baqarah : 45

What will I be rewarded?
"BEHOLD, God has bought of the believers their lives and their possessions, promising them paradise in return, ,[and so] they fight in God's cause.." - Surah At-Taubah ayat 111

To whom shall I submit ?
"..In Him have I placed my trust, for He is the Sustainer, in awesome almightiness enthroned." - Surah At-Taubah :129

I can't take it anymore!!!
"...and do not lose hope of God's life-giving mercy: verily, NONE but people who deny the truth can ever lose hope of God's life-giving mercy..." - Surah Yusuf :87
