Question

If everything is in Allah's hand why the term test is used? Isn't it written in my taqdir? Is anything which Allah has left on our hands? Aren't our good and bad deeds the earning of our hands?

Answer

The test is on the individual using his options correctly. Allah Ta`ala has given mankind the ability to choose.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
