Al-Baqarah (The Cow)
Surah 2 · Verse 214
Do you think that you will enter the garden while there has not yet come upon you the like of (that which came upon) those who passed away before you? Distress and harm befell them and they were shaken to the extent that the messenger and those who believed with him said, “When will Allahs help come?” Beware! Allah’s help is near.
“Entering paradise is a very tough job. No one can enter it unless he is successful in the test conducted by Allah (SWT) to select those whose deeds are good 67:2. This test was conducted for out predecessor too, on account of which distress and harm afflicted them to such an extent that they were shaken and they along with the messenger of Allah (SWT) prayed to Allah (SWT) for help which is always near.”
