LIFE IS A TEST
Spirit of Islam, March-April 2026, p. 20

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is named as the default author of the periodical; a piece that carries another writer’s byline is credited to that writer.
Just as a CAPTCHA must be completed to proceed, life’s challenges must be answered positively to move forward. One who fails the test remains stuck, while one who responds with reflection advances. The successful person does not ask why difficulties come; he asks what they demand from him. In this way, every trial becomes a doorway. When met with patience, reflection, and trust in God, the journey toward God-realization continues uninterrupted, transforming life into a meaningful and purposeful passage toward eternity. Death may spare man from facing human judges, but it will immediately set him before his Maker, the greatest Divine Judge, which will be a much more terrifying experience.
