Difference between tests and punishments

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: How do you know if your problems and failures in life are tests or punishment? Can you tell difference between tests and punishment in life?

Bismillaah

A: Normally when a person becomes miserable, uneasy, and he becomes frustrated when he encounters a difficulty then it is a sign of punishment, and if he is relaxed and calm, taking the trial in its stride then this is a blessing.

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