This world is a place of trial
This World is the Place of Trial Then Allah tells us that He has made this world a temporary abode, adorned with transient beauty, and He made it a place of trial, not a place of settlement. So He says
﴿إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا
مَا عَلَى الاٌّرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُم أَحْسَنُ عَمَلاً
﴾
(Verily, we have made that which is on earth an adornment for it, in order
that We may test which of them are best in deeds.) Abu Maslamah narrated from
Abu Nadrah from Abu Sa`id that the Messenger of Allah said:
«إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا
حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا فَنَاظِرٌ مَاذَا
تَعْمَلُونَ، فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا، وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ، فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ
فِتْنَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاء»
(This world is sweet and green, and Allah makes you generations succeeding
one another, so He is watching what you will do. Beware of (the beguilements of)
this world and beware of women, for the first affliction that Children of Israel
suffered from was that of women.) Then Allah tells us that this world will pass
away and come to an end, as He says:
﴿وَإِنَّا
لَجَاعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيداً جُرُزاً ﴾
(And verily, We shall make all that is on it bare, dry soil.) means, `after
having adorned it, We will destroy it and make everything on it bare and dry,
with no vegetation or any other benefit.' Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas that
this means everything on it would be wiped out and destroyed. Mujahid said: "a
dry and barren plain.'' Qatadah said, "A plain on which there are no trees or
vegetation.''Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18 ayah 7-8)

The Guardian Angels (Sura Ar - Ra'd, ayah 11-13)
﴿لَهُ مُعَقِّبَـتٌ
مِّن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ﴾
(For him (each person), there are angels in succession, before and behind
him. They guard him by the command of Allah.) Allah states that there are angels
who take turns guarding each servant, some by night and some by day. These
angels protect each person from harm and accidents. There are also angels who
take turns recording the good and evil deeds, some angels do this by day and
some by night. There are two angels, one to the right and one to the left of
each person, recording the deeds. The angel to the right records the good deeds,
while the angel to the left records the evil deeds. There are also two angels
that guard and protect each person, one from the back and one from in front.
Therefore, there are four angels that surround each person by day and they are
replaced by four others at night, two scribes and two guards. An authentic
Hadith states,
«يَتَعَاقَبُونَ
فِيكُمْ مَلَائِكَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةٌ بالنَّهَارِ، وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي
صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، فَيَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا
فِيكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ: كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي؟
فَيَقُولُونَ: أَتَيْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ، وَتَرَكْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ
يُصَلُّون»
(Angels take turns around you, some at night and some by day, and all of them
assemble together at the time of the Fajr and `Asr prayers. Then those who have
stayed with you throughout the night, ascend to Allah Who asks them, and He
knows the answer better than they about you, "How have you left My servants''
They reply, "As we have found them praying, we have left them praying.'') Imam
Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah said that the Messenger of Allah said,
«مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ
أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ وُكِّلَ بِهِ قَرِينُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَقَرِينُهُ مِنَ
الْمَلَائِكَة»
(Verily, every one among you has his companion from the Jinn and his
companion from the angels.'') They said, "And you too, O Allah's Messenger'' He
said,
«وَإِيَّايَ،
وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ، فَلَا يَأْمُرُنِي إِلَّا بِخَيْر»
(And I too, except that Allah has helped me against him, so he only orders me
to do good.) Muslim collected this Hadith. Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Ibrahim
said, "Allah revealed to a Prophet from among the Children of Israel, `Say to
your nation: every people of a village or a house who used to obey Allah but
changed their behavior to disobeying Him, then He will take away from them what
they like and exchange it for what they dislike.'' Ibrahim next said that this
statement has proof in Allah's Book,
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ
يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ﴾
(Verily, Allah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as
they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves.)
﴿هُوَ الَّذِى
يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ -
وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَالْمَلْـئِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ وَيُرْسِلُ
الصَّوَعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمْ يُجَـدِلُونَ فِى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ
شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ ﴾
(12. It is He Who shows you the lightning, as a fear and as a hope. And it is
He Who brings up the clouds, heavy (with water).) (13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder)
glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His awe. He sends the
thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers)
dispute about Allah. And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment.)

Hypocrites....
﴿يَوْمَ لاَ يُخْزِى
اللَّهُ النَّبِىَّ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ
أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَـنِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا
وَاغْفِرْ لَنَآ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ﴾
(The Day that Allah will not disgrace the Prophet (Muhammad ) and those who believe with him. Their Light will run forward before them and (with their Records ـ Books of deeds) in their right hands. They will say: "Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us ﴿and do not put it off till we cross over the Sirat (a slippery bridge over the Hell) safely﴾ and grant us forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do all things'') (66:8).
Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud commented on,
﴿نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى
بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ﴾
(Their Light will run forward before them), "They will pass on the Sirat. according to their deeds. The light that some people have will be as big as a mountain, while the light of others will be as big as a date tree. The people who will have the least light are those whose index fingers will sometimes be lit and extinguished at other times.'' Ibn Abi Hatim also reported that Ibn `Abbas said, "Every person among the people of Tawhid (Islamic Monotheism) will gain a light on the Day of Resurrection. As for the hypocrite, his light will be extinguished.
Abdullah bin `Amr said that the Prophet said,
«ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ
فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ
كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا: مَنْ إِذَا حَدَّثَ
كَذَبَ، وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَان»
(Whoever has the following three (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of the following three characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy, unless and until he gives it up. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous. Whenever he is entrusted, he breaches the trust)
Hence, man might have both a part of faith and a part of hypocrisy, whether in deed, as this Hadith stipulates, or in the creed, as the Ayah (2:20) stipulates.

Reminder to mankind
"O mankind! Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true.
So let not this present life deceive you,
and let not the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allâh.
Surely, Shaitân (Satan) is an enemy to you,
so take (treat) him as an enemy.
He only invites his Hizb (followers)
that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire."
[Al - Quran, Surah Fatir 35, Verse 5-6]
