Why the believers are tested by God?

SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Kazim (AS) who said: You will never become a believer unless you consider the calamity as a blessing; and consider comfort and easy life as a calamity. Because being patient in calamity is more valuable than being negligent at the time of comfort and pleasure [1]. In another narration, Imam Kazim (AS) said: A believer is like the two sides of a scale; whatever is added to his/her belief, the calamities are also increased; in order that he/she meets God in a pure and clean state [2].
