But in one particular place in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Anaqabut, Allah talks about tests that are difficult, meaning not the tests of good

But the tests of bad when you go through a difficult situation or people are causing you harm or you're going through the rest

Then that's a very difficult kind of test and it's at those points that a lot of people lose their faith

So Allah Azza wa Jalla gave a passage to the Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

And an occasion this was later on in the Makan period

So the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was already preaching the message of Islam for nearly a decade now and things had escalated

So not only were the Muslims being made fun of or they were being ridiculed or pushed away or you know

They were kicked out of their families and things like that or economically boycotted

It things took the next step. Now Muslims were being tortured

So one such Muslim was Khabab bin Arat al-Adi Allah wa A'nhu

Who they grabbed him, the Mushrikun grabbed him and they took coal and they heated coal on the ground

And then they forced him to lie down on it on his back and then they stood on him

So his back kept on burning and he kept screaming and they wouldn't get off of him

And until his entire back just melted off

And he was completely like traumatized and burnt

And in that state he came to the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he cried

And he said, Ya Rasulullah, where are the ones that have the truth?

Why is Allah letting this happen to us?

Why, if you're doing the right thing, why should bad things happen to you?

And these are the best people. They're the ones that are supporting the messenger of Allah

So if they're not just doing some random good deed, they're doing the best of all deeds
