The reply to such devilish whispers is that the Merciful and Glorious Creator عَزَّوَجَلَّ tests His servants and, out of pure munificence and benevolence, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows bounties upon those that are steadfast and grants them elevated ranks. Our history is full of such stories. Sayyidunā Zakariyyā عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام was cut open with a saw. His great son Sayyidunā Yaḥyā عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام was also brutally martyred. Several Holy Prophets عَـلَيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام were martyred by the Banī Isrāīl. The Karbalā tragedy in which mountains of pain and suffering befell Almighty-fearing believers is well known. So if any of us are ever tested we should not be impatient. Salvation in both worlds depends on being content with the Will of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Also remember that the more difficult the test, the greater the reward. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ says in the first two sacred verses of Sūraĥ Al-‘Ankabūt (part 20):

ا لٓـمّٓ   ۚ﴿۱﴾   اَ حَسِبَ  ا لنَّاسُ   اَنۡ   یُّتۡرَکُوۡۤ ا   اَنۡ   یَّقُوۡ لُوۡۤ ا   اٰ مَنَّا   وَ ہُمۡ   لَا  یُفۡتَنُوۡ نَ  ﴿۲﴾ وَ  لَقَدۡ   فَتَنَّا  ا لَّذِ یۡنَ   مِنۡ   قَبۡلِہِمۡ

Do people fancy that they will be left just upon their declaring, ‘We believe’, and they will not be tested? We indeed tested those before them.

[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 20, Sūraĥ Al-‘Ankabūt, verse 1-3)

The famous Quranic commentator, Ḥakīm-ul-Ummat, Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـمَنَّان said: It is Divine law to test Muslims according to the strength of their faith. Sicknesses, destitution, poverty, tragedy, are all trials from the Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ which separate the sincere from the hypocrites. Believers remain pleased with the Will of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Some bondman of Allah was cut open with saws, some were cut into pieces with iron combs, some were thrown into fire, while some were
