Allah is testing every one. He tests us all in different ways. We should not assume, the difficulties we face in life are punishments or signs, Allah is displeased with us. Likewise, we should never construe success, and the pleasures others enjoy, as signs, Allah is pleased with them, or, they are privileged. Sometimes, quite the opposite is true.
Allah says: "It is He who created death and life that He may try you as to which of you is best in deeds".
[Surah al-Mulk 67:2]
