أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَـٰهَدُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَيَعْلَمَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
Am h asibtum an tadkhuloo aljannata walamm a yaAAlami All a hu alla th eena j a hadoo minkum wayaAAlama a l ssa bireen a
Do you think that you could enter paradise unless God takes cognizance of your having striven hard [in His cause], and takes cognizance of your having been patient in adversity?102
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "while God has not yet taken cognizance of those of you who have striven...and those who are patient in adversity". Since God is all-knowing, His "not taking cognizance" implies, of course, that the thing or happening referred to has not come about or is non-existent (Zamakhshari).

Do you think that you will enter paradise without going through the trial? Allah has not yet tested you to see who among you strive hard for His cause and who show patience for His sake.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Do you think you will enter Paradise without Allah proving which of you 'truly' struggled 'for His cause' and patiently endured?
  - Mustafa Khattab
Or deemed ye that ye would enter Paradise while yet Allah knoweth not those of you who really strive, nor knoweth those (of you) who are steadfast?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Did ye think that ye would enter heaven without Allah testing those of you who fought hard (in His cause) and remained steadfast? 458
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The purge or purification was in two senses. (1) It cleared out the Hypocrites from the ranks of the Muslim warriors. (2) The testing-time strengthened the faith of the weak and wavering: for suffering has its own mission in life. The Prophet's example-wounded but staunch, and firmer than ever-put new life into the Community.
