    Why do some people are born with so much and get alot of stuff on time amd without their struggle and effort.

    While others struggle for the same things and ease aĺl their lives.

    Is God’s perception of the type 2 people different. Kia un pe nazr-e-karam aur tawajjo kam hai? Kia waja hy?

    No one can comprehend whole plan of Allah.

    Allah has clearly explained His scheme in the Qur’an.
    You can read about it in more details here

    But the summary is that Allah tests people by giving and taking. Test of gratitude and test of patience. One who is obedient to God in all circumstances is the one who Allah looks at with happiness.

    It is a very great misconception that Qur’an speaks strongly against that just because one has a lot of wealth and ease, that it must means Allah is happy with them but it’s not necessarily true. Most of the people who rejected the Messengers and will fail on Day of Judgment were powerful leaders that lived a life of luxury and ease and they forgotten the real test of life. If worldly life is easy, chances are the Day of Judgment will be harder. People who have less, have less to answer for but those who have more, are gonna be questioned more by Allah.

    There is also group of people mentioned in the Qur’an, that are completely oblivious of next life and chosen this life as their only life. They only want the riches of this world so Allah judges them here and gives whatever they want but they will get nothing afterwards. A raw and poor deal.

    As for those who struggle, their suffering calls them to God, their sins are constantly being forgiven, their responsibilities are less and if they are patient and follow what is right, they will have an easy reckoning in comparison.

      This is a comprehensive answer. Thankyou. But I have a question, usually scholars ans our elders encourage us to keep striving for better opportunities and success in studies or career. And when our peers get that success with the same amount of success and we repeatedly fail to get it and still work hard. Get up each time. And work again. What should be our belief in this particular scenario? That I have fallen from His graces due to my sins? Or whatever endeavour I chose is harmful for me according to the Divine Knowledge. It’s quite draining to see one’s efforts, one’s hard work never bearing fruit. Phir lagta hai jese ap k lye kuch b nahi hai.

      Allah says that people grows in deeds and blessing as per His permission, and some grow more than others.

      “Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.” (Qur’an 17:21)

      It is all in His hands and it is not necessarily because one has done something wrong but since person is prone to sins and mistakes so trying to mend ourselves just in case can be helpful because you can expect reward from that both in this world and next for your efforts in improving yourself. But it is not necessarily the main reason. The main purpose of this life is Allah is testing, He is going give happiness and sadness and see if they return to Him or cling to life. It means that even prophets like Hazrat Ayyub and Hazrat Nuh (who saw his own son getting drowned in front of his eyes) who have done nothing wrong, are going to be tested and then given a high rank in Jannah in exchange for their obedience even in face of loss and difficulties (Hazrat Nuh has a surah named after him, dedicated to him detailing how he made effort and people did not listen to him for centuries). So one should not be drained if one effort isn’t paying off, it’s not the job of insaan to produce results, they’re job is to put in effort and live out your life here and then off to a home of peace. You must use your intellect to realize the fruits of your work are not necessarily here, but piling up in the afterlife because the world might waste your effort, Allah will never waste your effort.

      “And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not waste the reward of those who do good.” (Qur’an 11:115)

      “……And Allah is not One who wants to make your faith go waste [through such trials]. Allah indeed is very Compassionate, Ever-Merciful to people.” (Qur’an 2:143)

      “And they will be told [in Jannah],˺ “All this is surely a reward for you. Your efforts has been accepted.” (Qur’an 76:22)

      But if one does not keep Allah’s good news in mind then……it is difficult.
