Wealth and Poverty are both a Test and Honor or Disgrace for the Servant:-

Surah Al-Fajr

Wealth and Poverty are both a Test and Honor or Disgrace for the Servant:-

"As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): "My Lord has honoured me.
But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"
[89:15-16] 
- Allah refutes man in his belief that if Allah gives Him abundant provisions to test him with it, it is out of His honor for him. But this is not the case, rather it is a trial and a test, as Allah says,
"Do they think that in wealth and children with which We enlarge them. We hasten unto them with good things. Nay, but they perceive not." [23:55-56]
- Likewise, from another angle, if Allah tests him and tries him by curtailing his sustenance, he believes that is because Allah is humiliating him. 
- For indeed Allah gives wealth to those whom He loves as well as those whom He does not love. Likewise, He withholds sustenance from those whom He loves and those whom He does not love. 
- The point is that Allah should be obeyed in either circumstance. If one is wealthy, he should thank Allah for that, and if he is poor, he should exercise patience, inshaAllah!

May Allah make our wealth a means to draw closer to Him and not the opposite, may He make us patient in hard times and thankful in both difficult and easy times. Ameen
