Re: A question about God
Peace
We must understand through faith that Allah(SWT) allows what ills to happen and generates what benefits to occur through His Mercy and Love.
How would we pray to God for help if we needed none?
How could sinners be accountable if no sin was allowed to manifest?
How could we appreciate the good if we could not see any bad?
By appreciating the good we appreciate the bounties of Allah(SWT)
If we made no crimes then how would we seek forgiveness? Allah(SWT) loves those who seek forgiveness.
If we had no harms in this world then all of our harms would have to be suffered in the Hereafter, when we suffer in this world the punishment in the Hereafter is reduced ... what chance is there for us to gain Jannah if we don't make up for some of our sins in this life?
Likewise ... this life is a mere moment to the true life ... God Knows what He does yet we do not know.
How could we be humble and prevent arrogant behaviour in ourselves if we did no wrong?
Look how many types of 'ibadah we would miss ... if life was perfect defect free
