Re: --Placing your trust in Allah
Peace worshipyourself
The ability to undertake a function does not mandate that function to be used. It is not ridiculous, it is a fact. The claim is that Allah (SWT) is All Powerful it does not mean that God is going to do the things that you want Him to do. So your statement that 'he won't' is incorrect. When Allah (SWT) decrees a thing it comes to be. God does cure cancer cancers are being cured all the time, not by people by God; the fact is you can't realise this simple phenomenon.
It does not make one wonder why people suffer at all ... one need only read the Qur'an. In it you will see three sets of evidence which are complimentary to wipe out the notion you have just presented.
Suffering in the world is:
a) A result of our own ill informed choices we bring bad upon ourselves but all good is from Allah (SWT).
b) A result of Allah (SWT) testing the people who are both victims and onlookers ... those who pass the test of patience are rewarded those who give thanks to Allah (SWT) for being saved from affliction and help those less fortunate are rewarded.
c) Those of whom have left this world in a state of injustice such as children in accidents or a murder victim then their account in the hereafter will be lighter. They will receive their full justice in the hereafter. This also applies for oppressors and murderers who get away with it in this life.
So you see ... Allah (SWT) cannot be escaped at all but at the same time cannot be blamed for our shortfalls.
When I say that Allah won't is entirely correct. Because Allah/God is supposed to be all-powerful and all-loving, it would follow that if someone was suffering extreme pain, this all-loving God would reach down and heal the pain, because he can and because he would hate to see us in pain.
Because Allah/God does not do that, either means he is not all-powerful, or he is not all-loving.
Which is it?
