In many verses of the Quran, God makes it clear that man is created to be a servant to his Creator. It is also stressed that the life in this world is a test, designed to distinguish the good from the evil:-
We make everything on the earth adornment for it so that We could test them to see whose action are the best. [surah al-Kahfi: 7]
Sometimes, one of the reason that prevent some people from seeing the good is forgetting that this life is a test. As what have been stressed throughout the book, all events, in all their minute detail, are specially created by God to test man.
It is at this point that the fundamental difference between disbelievers and believers becomes apparent. Believers have very different outlook to what happens to them and to the world around them. This outlook of theirs complies perfectly with the commands of the Quran: that is regarding each event as a part of a test. Accordingly, being aware that they are being tested, believers strive to conduct themselves in a way that earns God's consent.
