  • Suffering And God's Nature

    Posted by ahmad arif on October 3, 2025 at 3:03 pm

    Why does God gets happy when he gives your child Cancer and you don’t complain? Why does he gets happy when he kills 17 people of your family in a single earth quake and you don’t complain?

    We often hear that suffering is a test, But it raises question on the nature of God…. and why should one bear it and don’t complain except for the greed of Jannah. Why would we love someone and worship him if he treats you this way???

    God wants us to prepare ourselves for the eternal blessings of Jannah. This short test on the earth is very small as compared to the eternal reward. Humans endure suffering for a good future. This is the same practice for a greater good of the hereafter.

    God has told us that human begins chose this test willingly. See the last verse of Surah 33.

    This life is an opportunity for a greater good.

    So was God not omnipotent to achieve his objective without innocent animals suffering and without little babies suffering?

    He could have done it otherwise But still the same question can be posed that if He could have done it some other way. He chose this way with no compulsion.
