Living in the era where happiness is always associated with the Lord but suffering always makes us thoughtful. We ponder why they are enforced on us. So here I am going to show my endeavor to respond to this question by #ecotrain;
- "IF THERE IS A GOD WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SUFFERING IN THE WORLD?"
Does God exist?
Theory of special creation favours the creation of all creatures by a supernatural power. He has different names either Allah,God,Bhagwan,Rabb or some other name.
But you don't need to get confused by His name because He is everywhere.
Behind the beliefs, nature is also evident in His presence. Natural phenomena operate because He is governing all of them. Why don't we have night all the time? The Sun has no power to catch the moon. No creature has an order to leave their habit for predation( fishes can't come out of water to harm humans as it's not authorized to do so ). Everyone is prohibited and managed by Allah Almighty.
We all understand that we are even subordinate to His declarations.

When He will not permit ,we will not have the ability to even breathe with our will. He is the one supervising us. But now coming to question If He exists, why will He overstuff us with miseries?
Why are we suffering?
He takes exams from His men because He wanted to see the patience. Allah is one who loves His men even more when he returns to Him for the purpose of forgiveness or aid. We all commit missteps and yes His will is occurring in all this. As He has demonstrated us the way toward goodness. But when He examined His men, it's the right time to know how much dominant belief he had in the Lord. According to my belief, exams have been taken from His prophets too. Troubles are a part of life but numerous times without having such complication we can't be diverted to the exact way. What sort of difficulties does the world today suffer from?
The miseries ;
Shortage of food, insecurity of life , war, disasters and recently the COVID and various others. But why does the Lord want to circulate these miseries? We are going much further and it's the blessing of Almighty who has made us intellectual. I suppose there is nothing impossible these days because of technology. But somewhere we are earning more stress than our ancestors had. They strived for survival. But they had a strong bonding with each other. Suppose someone from a previous era visits the world. He would be shocked to glimpse such advancement. But what about the loneliness he will be having? Nothing seems reasonable to you when you are not internally comfortable.

Are you getting my point??Let me justify this!
We have no influence on natural disasters but yes wars are in our hands. The Lord has given us the proficiency to make such things but doesn't mean to use them for killing innocent people.
Same in the case of poverty, the rich are getting richer but no one is thinking about providing food to those who are encountering starvation . No shortage of food can occur if we make sure the proper use of food. If we have the ethics to spread the food to each individual. No one will sleep hungry no matter in Pakistan or America.
So in my view the Lord has bestowed everything to us but when we are not adopting the right way, Will He want us to do the wrong things till we are expired .Almighty will take our exam for showing us the right path.
For examination
For the goodness
For providing us assistance
For guidance

We all commit blunders and multiple times when we have no one we have a firm belief that He is there with us.The first and last hope. Now when we forget His presence. Suffering(exam) makes us near to Him. Personally each time I am shattered I find myself more close to Him. Secondly, we always attempt to take an exam of love. Either for testing the relationship. Equivalent is the case He tests us as He wants to check our belief in Him. He likes to know when and how we will Recall for His assistance. We all know very well that one day we will be going to expire. But these short hardships are exams. When we are in misery we think about others.
Example ;
Having pyrexia ( fever) or pain in our body we realize how much killing this health disease can be.Next time we will remain cautious about anyone who is suffering from that disorder. Exactly in case of fasting when we have an empty stomach we can contemplate the appetite and thirst that poor people will be having.
- Now coming to the controversial point ,occasional sufferings or disasters are also indicators of His aggression. As said before we leave from His path of goodness for a while. But He knows how to redirect us. Thereby the trauma is enough for us. We adopt the care for the next time. Furthermore , sometimes the tiny undergoing saves us from the bigger loss. If I have lost a few rupees I may curse myself for this. I would ask Allah why all this happens to me. But for the next time I would remain cautious. Thereby this shock is needed in life. I am not saying that we all need it on each step but yes such an examination is significant in many cases. It's up to the people whether they learn a lesson from it or not. But He wants us to be following the right way so that afterward we shouldn't say that we haven't been redirected. He wanted our safety not only for this world but also wanted to save us in the next world. He has the beat reward for all of us who are on the right way because of strong belief, patience.

And if we think that sufferings are only implemented to us, perhaps we are false. Everyone is similar in the view of Allah. Sometimes He takes exams from His favorite persons to make them think about how much they are being blessed .And sometimes He wants the siner to be forgiven if they would repent. If everyone would be going on track why would they have to suffer, ? For our own favour, Allah wants to check our patience. If we remain strong and keep on showing faith in Him. We will be surprised by His rewards.
The fall which gives you lessons by experience is better than anything which gives you no learning but achievement.
I have tried my best not to illicit any religious talk, these are my personal viewpoints. If they hurt you I am sorry for this we all have ideologies. You are more than welcome to share your viewpoints by participating in this Contest
I found nothing hurtful or offensive here Ayesha 😍 thank you for a lovely post examining the Will of God/Allah and the redirections you see him putting into our lives. A quick note on photo referencing... I can see you have attributed to the author...just the links go to general author page...for Dreemport please can you go one step further in your next submission and link directly to the individual photo page... your link goes to the author page but there are still lots of photos to sift through...so find the actual photo and click on it so it opens as the only photo on the screen and includes the photographer's name...then copy that URL and use that for your photo links. Thank you for posting in Dreemport 😘 !ALIVE
I have indicated my viewpoints but I was afraid that might be anyone may find them wrong but now I am satisfied. Thanks for this guide, I was attempting to credit the author but the way I adopted needs further advancement. I am glad you guided me 💖 lots of love, Sam,🤗😘
You are very welcome. Lots of love right back at you Ayesha 💗 !ALIVE
@ayesha-malik! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @samsmith1971. (5/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
I have tried to act on your advice, the photographer page,( the link which I have inserted ) gets opened in this way
But the individual image (which I have used) contains the same link ( I mean the same general step having all the images by that photographer)
ok I'll show you :-)
So first I follow your original link and get to the photographers page and then I go to the photo you selected and click on it. It takes me to this page
Then I select the URL on this page and pop it between the round brackets in the source code (making sure it starts with https once in the code) and the photgrapher's name between the square brackets to get a link like so
Danie Franco
Not sure why but I had to delete a bit of the URL once it copied across...but usually you don't have to)
Does that help?
You have expressed your own feeling and answered the question as it was posed. You did a fine job of getting your point across without being in any way offensive. Religion can be a touchy subject, but you handled it well and with true feelings.
I was brought to your post through curation for @dreemport.
This appreciation means a lot to me. Yes, religious talks are not peaceful every time. So I gave attempted my best not to hurt the feelings of anyone.
🤭 stay blessed.
In all these, whether we are enjoying the sweet side of life or facing the struggles that comes from being alive, it is always important to know that God loves us and his plans for us are of good.
That's enough to make it easy for us to pass through the sufferings/temptations.
Being righteous in the eyes of God is what we all ought to strive for. The struggles will come and it will also go.
Nice one ✌️
Excellent is received when you struggle more than achieve good. He can't leave us alone He perfectly shows companionship when we call upon Him during sufferings.
After each night, there is a bright day.
Thanks for the feedback 💖
Good analysis @ayesha-malik .
You take the aspects of God and explain what's going on in the world....
Suffering makes human beings come to their senses, so that they value what is really worthwhile in this life....
God also gives us many lessons to keep learning and moving through life. If we assimilate the lessons, we will graduate from the university of life.....
@deemport manual cure
In each step, we need a downfall that would make us realize what should be our next motivation.
The best conclusive words, thanks for this dear😍
You have some very interesting points which are truly valid in my humble opinion! We cannot control nature, but we definitely control, refine, and evolve our reasoning and behaviour, both individually and as a society. Congratulations for this article and keep up the good work! All the best, much health, and take care! Stay safe during this winter as well and God bless you! Namaste! 🙏
If we have been given the powers it's the blessing along with the heavy commitment to using it for humanity. Not for making the life of earth inhabitants more miserable. Thanks for your good words, nice to greet you😇
Thank you very much for these additional valid points expressed above! Indeed, you are very right. Thank you for greeting me as well, all the best, stay safe, take care, and keep up the good work here on HIVE! :)
I appreciate you explanation ❣️
When people deny with me in the presence of God.
My simple answer: Have you seen your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather but you believe he existed because of what you know is procreation.
Nature itself is the evidence of the fact that He exists. And beliefs are not accepted only by heart, our minds influence us to find satisfactory answers too. I suppose this explanation is given by everything from nature to our body. We are created by a mysterious power.
Good to see you here.
