In the Quran, trials and tribulations refer to the tests and challenges that people face in life. These trials can come in many forms, such as sickness, poverty, loss of loved ones, natural disasters, and persecution for one's beliefs.
Muslims believe that these trials and tribulations are a test from Allah, and they are meant to strengthen a person's faith and character. It is believed that those who remain patient and steadfast in the face of adversity will be rewarded by Allah in the Hereafter.
The Quran mentions trials and tribulations in many verses, such as Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 155: "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient."
Here are some examples of Quranic verses that mention trials and tribulations:
Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 2-3: "Do people think that they will be left alone on saying, “We believe,” and that they will not be tested? We tested those before them, for Allah must distinguish those who are truthful and He must distinguish the liars." This verse reminds believers that trials and tribulations are a natural part of life and that they will be tested in their faith.
Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 10: "And among the people is he who says, "We believe in Allah," but when he is harmed in the cause of Allah, he considers the trial of the people as [if it were] the punishment of Allah. But if victory comes from your Lord, they say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allah most knowing of what is within the breasts of all creatures?" This verse addresses those who claim to be believers but lose faith or become disheartened when faced with trials and tribulations.
Surah Al-An'am, Verse 42: "And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us]." This verse reminds us that Allah has sent messengers to previous nations who also faced trials and tribulations.

This verse highlights the inevitability of death and the trials that come with life, including both good and evil. It reminds believers that their ultimate return is to Allah.
Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 2-3: "Do the people think that they will be left to say, 'We believe' and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars." These verses emphasize that every believer will be tested, and that the sincerity of one's faith will be revealed through these trials.
Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 69: "And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good." This verse indicates that those who actively strive for Allah's sake will be guided by Him, even in the face of trials and tribulations.
Surah Al-Anfal, Verse 28-29: "And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial, and that with Allah there is a great reward. O you who believe, if you fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion, and will expiate for you your evil deeds, and will forgive you. Allah is the Owner of great bounty." This verse reminds believers that their possessions and children are a test from Allah, and that they should not become too attached to them. The verse also encourages believers to have taqwa (fear of Allah), as this will lead to Allah's forgiveness and rewards.
Surah Al-Anfal, Verse 60: "And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, but whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged."

They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near." This verse reminds us that trials and tribulations are a means of testing the believers' faith and patience.
Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 155: "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient."

Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided." These verses acknowledge that trials and tribulations are a part of life, but remind us to remain patient and steadfast in our faith. Those who remain patient and hold fast to their faith are rewarded by Allah with blessings and mercy.
Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 155-156: "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.'" These verses acknowledge that trials and tribulations are a part of life, and that believers will be tested with difficulties such as fear, hunger, loss of wealth, and loss of loved ones. However, the verse encourages believers to remain patient in the face of these challenges and to remember that everything belongs to Allah and that we will all return to Him eventually.
Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 286: "Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." This verse reminds us that Allah will not burden us with trials and tribulations beyond our capacity to bear, and that we are responsible for the good and evil that we do. The verse also serves as a prayer asking Allah to protect us from trials that are beyond our capacity and to forgive us for our shortcomings.
Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 155-156: "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, who, when disaster strikes them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.'"

If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the other direction]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss." This verse describes those who have weak faith and turn away from Allah during trials and tribulations, leading them to lose both this world and the Hereafter.
Surah Al-Hadid, Verse 22-23: "No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz) before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah. In order that you may not be sad over matters that you fail to get, nor rejoice because of that which has been given to you. And Allah likes not prideful boasters." These verses remind us that everything that happens in our lives is predestined by Allah. We should not be sad about things that we did not get, nor should we be boastful about things that we have been given. Rather, we should remain humble and patient in the face of trials and tribulations, knowing that they are a test from Allah.
Surah Al-Hadid, Verse 25: "Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs and revealed with them the Scripture and the balance that people may maintain [their affairs] in justice." This verse mentions the sending of messengers with clear proofs and revelations, indicating that one of the purposes of trials and tribulations is to establish justice and balance in society.
Surah Al-Hujurat, Verse 11: "O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers." This verse reminds us to be mindful of the ways in which we treat and interact with others, especially during times of trial and hardship, and to refrain from ridiculing or insulting one another.Surah Al-Imran, Verse 186: "You shall surely be tried in your possessions and yourselves, and you shall surely hear many hurtful things from those who were given the Book before you, and from those who associate partners with Allah. But if you endure patiently and have taqwa, that is indeed a matter of great resolution." This verse reminds the believers that they will face trials and tribulations in their lives, including attacks and hurtful words from those who oppose their faith. However, the verse encourages them to remain patient and have taqwa (fear of Allah), as this is a sign of true faith.
Surah Al-Imran, Verse 140: "If a wound has touched you, be sure a similar wound has touched the others.

And Allah loveth not those that do wrong." This verse reminds us that trials and tribulations are part of life and that everyone goes through them. It is a test of our faith, and those who remain steadfast in their faith are rewarded by Allah.

Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful."

This verse warns against becoming so focused on the material world and worldly pursuits that one neglects their spiritual obligations and loses sight of the true purpose of life.
Surah Al-Kahf, Verse 7-8: "Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed. And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground. Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?" These verses acknowledge that the beauty and wealth of the earth are merely temporary adornments, and that the true test of a believer is how they use their resources and abilities to do good.

But give the disbelievers what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation.
