People who receive the most severe tests are the Prophets, then those closer in rank to them sequentially in stages. People are tested according to the level of devotion to his religion. If he is very strong strong in his religion, also tested by God according to the level of devotion to his religion. So the plague and the exam was always imposed upon a servant until she left to walk the earth without any sin. "(Narrated by Tirmidhi)

In one verse, Allah said: "Allah does not burden a person but according to his capacity." (Al Baqarah: 286).
