Clear trial of Ibrahim عليه سلام and reward of good doer and his patient son


أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 

As-Saffat 37:99

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ 

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.


As-Saffat 37:100

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous

As-Saffat 37:101

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ 

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.


As-Saffat 37:102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ 

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think."  He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded.  You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."



As-Saffat 37:103

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ 

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,



As-Saffat 37:104

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ 

We called to him, "O Abraham,


As-Saffat 37:105

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.


As-Saffat 37:106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ 


Indeed, this was the clear trial.

A Litmus Test

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem 

Al-Anfal 8:53

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِّعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْۙ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 

That is because Allah would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

This ayah is like a litmus test for me. If something is changing that I dislike that means something is changing in my heart as well. Being grateful and being patient is the greatest favor of Allah. And if I dislike something that means either I am ungrateful or impatient. Subhan Allah. Oh Allah let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us. Indeed You are the Granter of bounties. Ameen.
