Mülk 1-2:

•  Mutlak hükümranlık elinde olan Allah(cc)'ın şanı yücedir ve O herşeyi yapmaya kadirdir. O, ölümü ve hayatı, hanginizin yerinde tutarlı davranışlar sergileyeceğini bilinir bir şekilde ortaya çıkarmak(لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا) için yarattı. O , mutlak üstün ve yüce olandır, eşsiz ve benzersiz bağışlayandır.

  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.
