One question that many people struggle with is the question of pain. How do we know if Allah is testing us or punishing us? When we change our understanding of this life, the way in which we see this question also changes. The reality of hardship can be summarized by this principle: anything that brings us closer to Allah is a blessing. And anything that takes us away from Allah is a punishment.

“I always sat in the first row. I always had the highest rank in class. I wanted to be a teacher, just like my teachers. But when it was time to enroll in grade seven, my mother told me we couldn’t afford it. I cried and begged but she just stayed silent. My teachers were so sad that they offered to pay half of the tuition. But it wasn’t enough because we’d still have to pay for the books and exams. So my mother made me understand that school was not in my luck. I’m still seventeen, but now I’m married and I work as a maid for a family. I wash their clothes, wash their dishes, clean their bathroom. Their house is near a school. So every morning I have to watch the children walk by in their uniforms.” (Dhaka, Bangladesh)

Ahaetulla also known as Asian vine snakes or whip snakes are mildly venomous and opisthoglyphous, meaning they have enlarged teeth located in the rear of the upper jaw. Unlike the fangs of other venomous snakes, vine snake fangs are not hollow, but grooved. This allows venom to flow down the teeth from their venom glands and into their prey. (Source)
