Explanation of the 20th hadith in the book.
1) Everything we love demands a price from us. The greater the love, the greater the sacrifice.
2) Allah and the Prophet are the greatest. Their love needs the greatest sacrifice and grants the greatest rewards.
3) All believers must be tested. At the same time, no one can escape pain in this life, the pious or the sinful. But the pious eventually receive perpetual joy, while the wicked receive the greatest pain.
4) Calamities have hidden benefits. Only the wise can see this, and this makes their suffering sweeter than worldly bliss.
5) Afflictions test our Iman: is it an Iman of conviction or convenience?
6) We must protect ourselves from future tests by elevating our knowledge, commitment to Allah, practice, Zuhd, and patience.

Allah’s Love for His Creation: Muslims believe Allah’s love and compassion extend to His creation. The Quran repeatedly mentions Allah’s attributes of mercy and love. For example, one of the most frequently recited verses in the Quran is “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim,” which translates to “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” This highlights Allah’s boundless mercy and love for His creatures.
