Going through challenges after changing one's life

Q: Earlier in my past life when I didn't have much understanding of deen, I felt like I'm free from challenges and tests. After following deen Alhamdulilla I feel like life gives me tests at every step. One finishes and the other is on my door step. What is this Ustadh?

I'm confused. Is this a sign that My Rabb is not happy with me that's why I'm encountering one test after the other?

A: This is a sign that Allah Ta`ala is elevating you. Like a person in school is elevating all the time, but he is subjected to some exam, test and trial.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
