مزد سربلندی از امتحان‌های الهی

قرآن کریم در این آیه و آیات دیگری بیان فرموده که اظهار اسلام با زبان به تنهایی کافی نیست و برای ورود به بهشت و رسیدن به سعادت ابدی» لازم است که مسلمانان امتحان شوند و راستگویان مجاهد از دروغگویان منافق جدا گردند. باید توجه داشت که آزمون‌های الهی» جنبة پرورشی دارد؛ یعنی همان‌گونه که طلا را به بوته می‌برند تا زیر فشار آتش بسوزد و خالص گردد یا سربازان را با کارها و اعمال سنگین و خشن تمرین مقاومت و پایداری می‌دهند تا سطح کارآیی آنها را بالا برند» آزمون‌های المی نیز درست به همین صورت» انسان‌ها را مقاوم‌ترء آگاه‌تر و خالص‌تر می‌کند. در یک کلمه آزمون‌های الهی» وسیلة تکامل و پرورش روح و جسم انسان است. آری» قانون خدا بر این است که با امتحانات گوناگون» باطن و حقیقت افراد را مشخص کند و بساکه خدا به وسیلة یک بنده، هزاران نفر را آزمایش کند. برای مثال، با ثروتمند شدن یک نفر، همسر، فرزندان، خویشان، دوستان، دشمنان، همسایکَان و فقیران بسیاری امتحان می شوند؛ خود او نیز امتحان می‌شود که آیا شکر ثروتش را می‌نماید و از آن انفاق می‌کند یا نه. > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): al-Kāfī.
