how to know?

I am always afraid to say things or claim things about Islam. I am not very well aware of many things, because i never studied it deeply, never got time ( an excuse i know) but know the basics only. OP question is what i have asked myself many many times. I do not have really an exact answer to it but in the process I have asked myself one more question that is, Why do we always say that oh i do my prayers regularly, i read Quran, so why am i facing all these troubles? And look at that person who doesnt pray , doesnt read Quran but still gets everything she wants for herself?" Do we pray because we need reward for it in this world in form of marzi ki shadi, passand ki job/salary etc etc? If we are praying, are we doing some ahsaan on Allah? We are not doing any good to Him but doing good to our ownself. This is so wrong that we want ourselves to be above troubles and aazmasih of daily life just because we pray five times a day. We are humans, we have our fate, we have our actions, we have our decisions, choices that we make, all these things can either work for us in a good way, or can backfire and really turn out bad. It is silly to think that i made a wrong decision but now it is Allah’s responsibility to correct it since i do sajdah to Him five times a day.

The prayers, the Quran, the Zakat, the good that we do to others, the good thing we say about others, for all that we will be rewarded inshAllah but may not be in this world. This world is so temporary and time is flying by us. There will be a time when we will look back and all that we went thru in past will look like a dream. So just be on the right path, Allah is there to guide you and protect you, but dont expect things to settle down in your favor always. There are hard times and good times. A true muslim with a strong belief should take good and bad as Allah’s will, accept it with open heart and be always thankful. if you do that, you will see that troubles will ease up and you will get thru them with no harm

Nice post. The underlined text, I asked myself too and i found the answer of that as mentioned earlier in my post.
