Evaluate yourself
The stronger your faith, the greater will be your test
A stricter test may not always be in the form of sadness and grief, though it may seem like one... Sometimes, wealth and comfort are a bigger test.
All of us are being tested, some by poverty, others by wealth, some by patience, and others by gratitude. Some are tested by social situations, such as being with a family, where the test is in speech and mannerisms, while others are tested in solitude, where they are tested with their thoughts and intentions.
The key is to recognize our tests. Every day is a test. Allah gives us trials in different scenarios to check whether we reach out to Him or not. Do we continue to live neglectfully or stay connected to Him? It is high time that we evaluate our lives. Are we tested with ease or difficulty? Remember, the easier the paper, the more difficult the checking. The easier our lives are, the more questions we will be asked in Akhirah.
"Do people think that they will be left (at ease) only on their saying, “We believe” and will not be put to any test?" (Qur'an, Al-'Ankabut 29:2)

When you choose someone....
Choose someone who harbors an ocean of love for Allah within him. This divine love will take care of everything.
A person who truly loves Allah will follow the teachings of the Qur'an.
Allah desires him to be a protector and provider so he will not burden you with the responsibility of earning money.
Allah wants us to consume what is pure, leading him to focus on having halal income.
Allah teaches us that this world is merely a play and amusement; this will encourage him to prioritize ibadah over parties and leisure.
Allah instructs us to observe nature, fostering within this person a love for the environment and a desire to travel.
Allah has appointed us as custodians of the Earth, so this person will develop eco-friendly habits that care for the planet.
Allah commands us to follow His Prophet (peace be upon him), which will inspire this individual to pray, fast, and shape his character according to the Sunnah.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of seeking knowledge so this person will become a devoted reader.
In essence, everything falls into place when we prioritize the love for Allah.
