Allah (swt) tests His mukhlis, sincere servant. That's why we say:
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى هَدَىٰنَا لِهَٰذَا
alhamdulillahiladhi hadaanaa lihaadha,
'All praise is due to God, who has guided us unto this; (Surat al-A`raf,7:43)
We are thanking Allah (swt) that He has guided us to the right path. What do you do when Allah tests you? What do you do when Allah (swt) sends difficulty, sends a hardship in your way? Shaytan right away comes. Shaytan starts to tell you all different kinds of things in your ears. Whisper all kinds of doubtful thoughts, bad thoughts about Allah (swt), about Rasulullah (s), about Awliyaullah. He keeps putting all these thoughts to your head because you don't know exactly what to do.
A hardship came your way, what do you do? A difficulty came your way, what do you do? Shaytan starts to tell you "Allah (swt) is punishing you, all your life you are a good one, but look what He is doing to you." Do you say, "Ah, forget it. I'm not going to be a good one anymore. What's the point?"
Shaytan comes in your heart, tells you to leave the worship of Allah (swt), tells you to leave the love of Allah (swt), tells you to leave the company of Allah (swt) and tells you to leave listening to Allah's (swt) Words. He puts also doubt in your heart about the messenger, about Rasulullah (s); he puts doubt in your heart about the deen,religion.
Allah (swt) is looking, that's why He sends difficulty. Because if you are made of gold, you will just get purer with fire. If you are made of tin, you will melt and go away. So Allah (swt) is testing. He will send balaa, He will send difficulty, He will send hardship.
