Explaining human suffering and why Allaah does not prevent it

Explaining human suffering and why Allaah does not prevent it
How do we explain God
to someone who believes that while God exists, they cannot accept or understand how a
merciful, comapssionate God would allow so much human suffering to take place. The analogy
they give is that if we are God's children, why does God not protect us -- just as a
parent would gaurd over their children?

 

Praise be to Allaah.

Allaah (God) Almighty, is
most merciful and compassionate, without any doubt. Yet his actions can not be fully
comprehended by our incompetent minds. What simplifies this issue is that we all agree
that Allaah is fair, just, wise and knowing. That means whatever he-Almighty- does, is
with a legitimate purpose although we may not be able to understand, just why.  For
example, a caring and loving doctor and father may be forced to amputate the leg of his
only son. There is no doubt that this father loves his son. Yet his action was for the
sake of this beloved son, although it may seem cruel to those who do not understand the
circumstances. Allah –Almighty – has the greater and higher example, and it is
not to any of his creatures to question his doings as it is mentioned in Sura 21 verse 23
(interpreted means: “He cannot be questioned for His acts, but they will be
questioned (for theirs)”.

It is a Muslim’s belief that suffering of pain, hunger, tragic
accidents etc, are due to one’s sins, for Allaah wants this suffering to erase these
sins which were made by this Muslim. Allaah says in Sura 42 verse 30 interpreted means:
  “Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because of the things your
hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness”. It is
also apparent that man in times of crisis gets closer to Allaah and starts repenting,
while in times of ease and comfort he is far from remembering the blessings of Allaah and
he uses these gifts and blessings in committing sin after sin.

Allaah -Almighty- has shown man the path of good and evil, and he gave him
the power and will to choose. Therefore, man is accountable to his deeds and the
punishment he receives for them, for life in this world is merely a test, but the results
are to be known in the hereafter and Allaah knows best.

Following note from Muslim Quran online Blog 

The first lesson to be learned by all Muslims is the importance of the Reading Quran Online. All Muslim should learn holy Quran online  is the Book of Allah All mighty. Every word which the quran reciter recites or he read quran is the word of Allah it is mentioned in Quran in Arabic that it is the guidance which has come from Allah. That is why we as Muslim say it is the Holy Book. We should  learn quran and focus on quran teaching thought by the quran tutor to the students and the tutor should arrange the kids quran lessons in such an easy manner so they can understand it easily and make there quran recitation online as beautiful as he could and teach them that the words of Koran were sent by Allah to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) through the angel Jibraeel. And further more elaborate wile reading quran with teaching them the quran tafseer and the tajweed quran with its rules let then do quran memorization in the proper manner We as Muslim should respect the teachings of Quran and in every other manner when we are reading it or when we listen to Quran  wake up Muslims and spread the word of Islam to
