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.
