Urgent Question on Faith

[ahmed_indian]

:salam2:,
can u pls give some advice on this matter. also if possible, pls ask ur sheikh about this issue. its urgent!

my friend's friend says:

[before i did not care about Islamic duties like prayers, parents,etc (may Allah forgive me) and my life was not tough. but now i am trying to follow Islamic principles and i am facing financial problems. i dont know whether my Dua's are being accepted or not.

i know Allah dont punish anybody for obeying Him. do Allah love me for worship or not due to my imperfect worship?

so is it due to "more faith= more test" or due to my shortcomings, sins even after knowing Islamic rules?

if i decrease my worship, will the test also become lighter?]

salaam

Do you think that you shall be left alone while Allah has not yet tested those among you who have striven hard and fought and have not taken Waleejah ((Batanah - helpers, advisors and consultants from disbelievers, pagans, etc.) giving openly to them their secrets) besides Allah and His Messenger, and the believers. Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do. [9:16]

Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested? [29:2]


[70:23] (Successful are) those who are steadfast (prompt, and punctual) in their ‘salat’.

[3:200] O you who believe! be patient and excel in patience and remain steadfast, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, that you may be successful.

[5:35] O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful
