FULL OF LOVE FOR US

28 How can you disbelieve in Allah? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return.

29 He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything. 30 And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: 'Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth.' They said: 'Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You.' He (Allah) said: 'I know that which you do not know.'

31 And He taught Adam all the names (of everything) , then He showed them to the angels and said, 'Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful.'

32 They (angels) said: 'Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise.'

33 He said: 'O Adam! Inform them of their names,' and when he had informed them of their names, He said: 'Did I not tell you that I know the Ghaib (unseen) in the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you have been concealing?'

34 And (remember) when We said to the angels: 'Prostrate yourselves before Adam.'. And they prostrated except Iblees (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah).

35 And We said: 'O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Paradise and eat both of you freely with pleasure and delight of things therein as wherever you will, but come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zalimoon (wrong-doers).'

36 Then the Shaitan (Satan) made them slip therefrom (the Paradise), and got them out from that in which they were. We said: 'Get you down, all, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time.'

37 Then Adam received from his Lord Words . And his Lord pardoned him (accepted his repentance). Verily, He is the One Who forgives (accepts repentance), the Most Merciful. 38 We said: 'Get down all of you from this place (the Paradise), then whenever there comes to you Guidance from Me, and whoever follows My Guidance, there shall be no fear on them, nor shall they grieve. (Verses #28 - 38 in Al-Quran, surrah Al Baqarah)

Or think you that you will enter paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, 'When (will come) the Help of Allah?' Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!
( Quran , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #214)

Glory be to Allah, he is so full of love for us, if only we but knew.... it is natural for us to be tested and put to trial for our claims like the believers who came before us.... see who worships their deen over their culture, or their Allah over their family and friends, tested with everything from poverty to healths and so on, but Allah S.W.T. will not give you a test greater than u can bare.
So I pray that Allah S.W.T. give us patience with our test and the divine inspiration to pass and die with iman insha Allah
