It has always been the 'guidelines' or 'routine' of the way humans carry their scope of lives in this world..
Those who wants merit, will need to go few test or challenges to meet the requirements to gain acknowledgment for it.
As this was what humans has always been thru, living among any society of any generations.
The better achievement of a person as compare to the other depends on what we called as the standard of 'success' gained. This is best exampled by a simple yet common situation that happens in most humans live, the 'schooling period'. While being in this scheduled educational time, it has always been a must to be the best, overshadowed other students by getting the best grade in each test, each subject.
And it will be more sparkling if a younger student can achieve a good grade as well the others in that standard since it excel in a test higher than its 'level'.
It would then meets the eye of the society to what they call as the crystal among the diamonds rough.
This 'standard frame' has been on going in all sector of life..studies, sports, working, so on and so forth.
So, it will be a question here.. is this frame a wrong thing that humans used.. we use...?
well, in truth, its the best frame that we use in our life..
for that is what exactly has been used to test each and everyone of us in this world..
by no other, than the Lord of the Universe, One and Only.. Allah SwTaála..
Look at what the trustworthy beloved messenger, rasulullah (saw), said..
which has a meaning that goes on as..
" Indeed, the quality of the reward lies in the quality of trials. Who is willing (pleased), will be pleased by Allah, and who is disappointed, but it gets the wrath of Allah.."
(at-tirmidzi)

Sesungguhnya, kualiti pahala terletak pada kualiti cubaan. Siapa rela (redha), maka ia mendapat redha Allah SwT, dan siapa kecewa, maka ia mendapat murka Allah SwT..
doesn't this seem obvious; clear cut that says, the best acknowledgment, reward a person will get living in this world, if he/she pass thru each test with flying colors..
and here, the best achivement is being 'patient' for each trials and tribulations..
and the more tougher the challenges is, the more reward will be gained from Him..
and the more tougher the challenges is, the more reward will be gained from Him..
perhaps, one will then now put in mind..
'ok, the trials, tribulations' here meant anything that stricken the hearts such as sad for not getting what it desire in this world..'
but, here's the catch...
not like the proposition posted by humans' as the frame in life..
success is considered if one gain more money, achieve great things such as reaching to top of the highest mountain, win a contest..etc2..
the success counted by Him, is when in every situation the person in, it makes it closer and closer to Him..
if the person just lost its family in a quake... it knows Allah love them more than he/she does.. and accept it willingly..
if the person failed in a big time exam.. it knows, there are hidden pearls from Him in the next step of life, and be patience with it.. and never give up from trying..
if the person just being promoted to a higher credentials in work.. it thanks Him from giving a chance to undergo an even far challenging situation it will be in.. since it'll now test the love its has testified to Him..
yeah, but most people will agree, there is nothing more difficult in life than disasters to struck in..
thus, when things will like collapsing, dropping down..
and all hope seem lost..
juz keep in mind,
the sun will rise up again..
the world will not always be silent by the dark..
though it seems like there is no tomorrow,
as the night falls in..
yet, the sun will keep on rising each day, for its His will..
so, it is indeed, in the creation of night and day..
there is a sign for us to think about it as we go thru our life..

"And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remmeber or desires gratitude.."
[al-Furqan(25):62]
lastly,
juz to end with one say..
Allah luv's are best shown onto His servants when they are actually being gone thru each test of life.. so, the more challenging trials u r about to face, meants, Allah love u even more..
