Life in the material world was created in order to test mankind. Chapter 67 Al Mulk, verse 2:
"[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed…"
Because of this purpose the material world has been created with many preoccupations and distractions which prevent one from submitting obediently to Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. These distractions can be reduced to four main obstacles which will be briefly discussed in this short book. By avoiding and overcoming these great obstacles a muslim will Achieve Noble Character.
Adopting Positive Characteristics Leads to Peace of Mind.
