Müminun 30:

•  Bu kıssada düşünen insanlar için çıkarılacak çok dersler vardır. Ve şüphesiz Biz, bütün gerçekleri ortaya çıkaranız. (وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ).
  (
  Yukarıdaki ayetin ikinci kısmı genelde, -insanın imtahandan geçirildiği- şeklinde çevrilmiştir. Fakat, Yüce Rabbimin, insanın durumundan habersiz olduğu (haşa) ve onu imtahan yaparak durumunu öğrendiği gibi bir sonuç, kesinlikle doğru olamaz. Yüce Rabbim, her şeyi her türlü ayrıntısı ile zamandan ve mekandan bağımsız bilmektedir.
  
  3:152 de uhud savaşı ile ilgili sahabedeki farklı görüşler ve sonuçta ortaya çıkan durum için;
  
  ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ
  
  buyrulmaktadır. Herkesin içindeki gerçek niyetlerin ortaya çıkarılması için savaşın gidişatı Yüce Rabbim tarafından değiştirilmiştir.
  
   Cenab-ı  Hak’kın  insanları  imtihanlardan  geçirmesindeki en önemli hikmetlerden biri, insanların  yetişmesi,  olgunlaşması,  zihnen  ve  kalben  gelişmesi, sahip kılındıkları potansiyellerin birer kabiliyet halinde inkişaf etmesi, hayatın daha bir zenginleşmesi, saflaşması ve insanın yeryüzünde halifelik vazifesini hakkıyla yapabilmesidir. İşte peygamberler ve onlara vahyedilen gerçekler, ki-taplar, onlarla gönderilen Din, imtihanda insana ışık tutar ve yol gösterir. Onlar olmadan bu imti-handa muvaffak olmak mümkün değildir. Ayrı-ca bunlar, imtihanın da bir bakıma kendisi veya zemini veyahut en büyük sebebidir.AÜ

  بَلاءٌ “ ” (balaun), “ ابَتلَاءٌ ” (ibtela-un).
  Raghib says this word has two meanings:
  - To obtain information about one’s welfare or to acquire information about him.
  - For the real condition of something to become known, whether good or bad.
  When the word is used for God, it would have only the second meaning, because God knows it all, and
  one cannot even imagine that He is unaware of any condition {T, R}. Therefore, the word’s basic meaning
  is to portray the reality.
  بَلِیَ “ ” (bali), “ يَبْلٰی ” (yabla) is used for a cloth to become old and worn. Because when a cloth has been
  worn out, its real condition comes to light. Therefore “ ابلَاءٌَ ” (bala) is used for a man’s real personality to
  come out during times of difficulties and misery. But it does not necessarily mean that identity of
  everything has to be bad. It can also be good. That is why it could also mean the real personality of
  someone during happy times. There are two times when a man’s reality becomes manifest, times of
  misery and times of happiness. At both these times, his real self appears.
  اَلْمُبَالا ه “ ” (al-mubalah): to boast, or to pride oneself as to the better position in life against another {M}.
  اَبْتَلا “ ” (ibtelaa): to select, to choose {T}.
  In surah Al-Baqrah, the Bani Israel has been told Pharaoh’s nation perpetrated different excesses on you,
  but We delivered you from their oppression.
  Some dictionaries have combined the roots (B-L-W) and (B-L-Y). But we have presented them as separate headings, though they have only a very fine difference between them, so fine that at times they are difficult to differentiate.
  Surah Ad-Dukhan says that the Bani Israel are told that they have been given all this “ مَا فِيْہِ بَلَاء مُّبِيْنٌ ” (ma
  feehey balawun mubeen) in 44:33, which had everything needed for their growth. It also means “to make evident”.
  The Quran says:
  
  86:9 The day when every hidden thing will be made evident يوَْمَ تبُْلَی السّ رائر
  
  3:153 So that Allah may make those things evident which were in
  your heart یْ صُدُورِکُم لِﻴَبْتَلِیَ اللّهُ مَا فِ
  
  10:30 There every one's act shall be made evident for him, that he
  had committed کَ هُنَالِ تبَْلُو کلُّ نفَْسٍ مَّا أَسْلَفَتْ
  
  In surah Al-mominoon, after describing things about the nation of Nooh, it is said:
  23:30 This is how We make (the tales about former nations)
  evident يْنَ وَإِن کُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِ
  The struggle between Right and Wrong goes on. In this struggle we get familiar with different facts of life. Sometimes one is faced with trying aspects and at other times with peaceful aspect of life’s happiness. This has been described by the Quran as “ اَبْتَلٰی ” (ibtela), meaning the different faces of life
  which keep appearing. In surah Al-Fajr, this meaning is made clear (see 89:15-16). This way man can determine as to see how far his capabilities go, because he can only face the difficult aspects of life to the
  extent to which his latent qualities have developed. These hurdles that he faces are actually a man’s opportunities for development of his own personality. This is what “ اَبْتَلٰی ” (ibtela). ET
