About Shukr ( شکر کے بارے میں )

Does Allah tests us with rewards to see whether we do Shukr (appreciate not just through words but actions) or do Kufr (does not appreciate because of not following the instructions)?

کیا اللہ نواز کر آزماتے ہیں کے کون اللہ کا شکر کرتا ہے (صرف زبانی ہی نہیں بلکہ سراہنے والے عمل کرکے) اور کون کفر کرتا ہے (سراہنے والے عمل نہ کرکے)؟

Surah An-Naml: 27 - Ayah: 40
Arabic
قَالَ الَّذِىۡ عِنۡدَهٗ عِلۡمٌ مِّنَ الۡـكِتٰبِ اَنَا اٰتِيۡكَ بِهٖ قَبۡلَ اَنۡ يَّرۡتَدَّ اِلَيۡكَ طَرۡفُكَ​ؕ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسۡتَقِرًّا عِنۡدَهٗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنۡ فَضۡلِ رَبِّىۡ​ۖ لِيَبۡلُوَنِىۡٓ ءَاَشۡكُرُ اَمۡ اَكۡفُرُ​ؕ وَمَنۡ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا يَشۡكُرُ لِنَفۡسِهٖ​ۚ وَمَنۡ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبِّىۡ غَنِىٌّ كَرِيۡمٌ‏

And he who had some knowledge of the Book said: "I will bring it before the twinkling of your eye." When Solomon saw the throne placed firmly beside him, he cried out: "This is by the grace of my Lord so that He may test me whether I give thanks for (His Bounty) or act with ingratitude. Whoever is grateful is so to his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, let him know that my Lord is Immensely Resourceful, Most Bountiful."
Urdu
Jis shaks ke paas kitaab ka ilam tha woh bola “main aapki palakh jhapakne se pehle usey laye deta hoon”. Junhi ke Sulaiman ne woh takht apne paas rakkha hua dekha, woh pukar uttha “Yeh mere Rub ka fazal hai taa-ke woh mujhey aazmaaye ke main shukar karta hoon ya kaafir e niyamat karta hoon. Aur jo koi shukar karta hai uska shukar uske apne hi liye mufeed hai, warna koi nashukari karey to mera Rubb be-niyaz aur apni zaat mein aap buzurg hai.”
