Believing While Not Being Satisfied
The logic is so flawed, may be the bipolar prevented him from discovering a cure for some lethal disease. MS prevented him from taking care of his family. Cancer cut short his life which would have been otherwise served in helping and taking care of people. The logic that you have quoted hold no objective value.
Brother its all about perspective, truth and reality are relative Same can be said about your logic. Most young people don’t do stuff that u mentioned, statistically speaking, scenarios i mentioned are far more likely. You and i both have no way to find out alternative reality. Our nafs always tells us that if this or that issue didn’t exist then it wouldve been wonderful and rosy. We fail to realize that there’s no objective evidence for it and it could be worse as much as it could be better. Brother Faisal pointed out a good question, how would anything change if the sufferer deny Allah? No pain will be less and no problem will solve Rethink your ideas that Allah’s mercy means enjoyment, ease and fulfillment of desires. Allah is always merciful, sometimes in our present and sometimes in our future. We can’t see the future neither we know what we will do in certain circumstance. Problems we face tend to keep us away from making wrong choices in our present so our future could be better. It’s hard to keep eman during pain and suffering, it’s ok if the faith feels weak, sahab RA felt the same uncertainty during hardship. Key is not to lose hope and keep doing good. Allah rewards for good deeds and not people, do good for yourself and not for others
