🔻In this world, success means being successful in the divine tests.
🔻Other successes in life are the tools for us to be tested.
👉🏼 Destiny (7)
🔸When the central factor for our destinies, for the prophets being sent, and for the religious laws are for us to be tested, this means that the main thing in this world is neither suffering nor being comfortable. Therefore, people’s goals should not be success, comfort and blessings, and of course, no one’s goal should be to be in pain, suffering, bothering oneself or giving hardships to oneself.
🔸We are not supposed to search for #success in this world. This means that we should not be after reaching that optimal point that we have in mind. The optimal point is to pass tests correctly. Our only success is to be successful in divine #tests.
🔸When we say that the central factor for divine destinies is tests, this means that whether you are given hardship or comfort, this is for you to be tested. [Qur’an 89:15–16]
🔸When we see some differences between others and ourselves, we should not say that this is #discrimination and this is in contradiction with God’s justice! The Commander of the Faithful, Ali (as), said, “Do not count wealth and children to be the criteria of God’s anger or pleasure. This stems from your ignorance about divine tests and trials for testing [people’s] abilities and powers.” [Nahj al-Balaghah, sermon no. 192]
🔸We can say that the #primary, practical goal of the creation of human beings is to be #tested. The Qur’an says, “It is He who has created death and life to put you to the test.” [67:2] The #intermediary goal of creation is “#worshiping and servitude.” The Qur’an says, “We have created jinn and human beings only that they might worship Me.” [51:56] The #ultimate aim and goal of creation is #meeting_God.” The Qur’an states, “…you are working hard toward your Lord and you will meet Him.” [84:6] It also states, “We are the servants of God and to Him we shall all return.” [2:156] In other words, the primary goal of creation that we are facing in our actions in this world is testing.
