The question of why some individuals seem to experience more blessings while others endure significant pain and suffering, despite the belief in a divine presence that could bless the world equally, is a complex issue that spans theological, philosophical, sociological, and personal perspectives.

In Islamic belief, hardship and suffering are often seen as tests from God (Allah). These challenges are viewed as opportunities to test a person’s faith, patience, and resilience. It is believed that enduring such trials with patience and faith can lead to the forgiveness of sins and an increase in one’s rewards in the hereafter, which itself is considered a blessing.
