Ordeals Correspond To The Level Of Ones Faith

Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘The more faith a servant attains, the harder his life becomes.

Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘A man is tested according to the level of his love [for Allah].

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘It is written in the Book of Ali, ‘The believer is tested according to the level of his good deeds, so whoever is sound of faith and good deeds, his ordeals are more intense. And that is because Allah, the Exalted, did not make this life a [source of] reward for a believer, nor a [source of] punishment for a disbeliever. However, he whose faith and deeds are weak, his ordeal is also little.

Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, ‘A believer is like the two sides of a balance: the more faith he has the more ordeal he sustains, so that he meets Allah, the Exalted, without any sins.
