Note: Different Tests From Allah

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 With this quarantine and lockdown situation taking place in the noble month of Ramadan, Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala is testing us in several ways:
1] Will the men who are given orders to not pray inside the Masjid continue praying in their homes, grabbing the oppurtunity to lead their families as their Imaam, or will some of them choose to pray individually in their own rooms neglecting their loved ones, or even cancel praying altogether since there's no human monitor to watch them pray?
2] Will the wealthy Muslims use part of their wealth to do charity, supplying the needy with food and other essentials, or will they feel proud they still got money in their bank accounts, upload photos of their extravagant Iftaar meals online, or obnoxiously make fun of those who are financially struggling?
3] Will the Muslims persist in praying Taraweeh and Witr at home in this special month that comes once a year, or will they cancel praying Taraweeh because "it's just Sunnah" and a large group is not available to join them in praying?
4] Will those whom Allah the Most Wise granted knowledge of Islam strive to find ways to do Da'wah, whether they post Islamic reminders on their timelines, advise Muslim users in a group chat, or upload Facebook live videos to share some lessons for free, or will they put their abilities on hold and resume doing Da'wah only when the lockdown is lifted?
5] When Islamic talks and lectures are readily presented on some Facebook groups, on YouTube or soundcloud.com will the Muslims take advantage of the easy access to gain beneficial knowledge, or will they wrongly consume their energy in watching as many movies, TV sitcoms and music videos as they can?
6] When Muslim friends and relatives are ordered to implement social distancing, will the Muslims still make effort to exchange salaams, fulfill each other's rights, and check on one another once in a while, to see how they're all doing, or will they refuse to reach out because there's no actual social event, planned outing and organized gathering?
7] On Eid Al-Fitr, will the Muslims still apply the teachings they've learned and will they follow the Sunnah of the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam by paying the Zakat Al-Fitr before the Eid prayer, wearing neat clothes and expressing joy in halal means even if there isn't a huge crowd? Or will they treat Eid Al-Fitr as any other regular day and they just pray Fajr Salah without the Eid prayer, while they're in their pajamas and unkempt hair, because guests aren't currently visiting?
8] Will the Muslims complain about this current problem upon absorbing tons of negative news and anxiously fear for what may happen to them in the future, or will they increase in their trust in Allah the Almighty and do what they can to strengthen their faith/Imaan?
9] Will the Muslim youths start feeling depressed that they can't temporarily go outdoors and meet up with their friends, or will they be reminded of the reality of this temporal dunya, the undeniable truth that someday we'll be in our graves, and will they then do Tawbah and try their best to improve themselves enhancing Taqwa during Ramadan and afterwards for Allah's sake?
To pass Allah's tests maintain patience, steadfastness, contentment, gratitude and sincere striving to do the good deeds that please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala whether there are people around or not to provide encouragement, and stay away as much as possible from the things that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala made haraam/forbidden, whether in people's presence or absence.
