God'S Plan In This World
Allah has clearly explained His scheme in the Qur’an. You can read about it in more details here Discussion 22229 But the summary is that Allah tests people by giving and taking. Test of gratitude and test of patience. One who is obedient to God in all circumstances is the one who Allah looks at with happiness. It is a very great misconception that Qur’an speaks strongly against that just because one has a lot of wealth and ease, that it must means Allah is happy with them but it’s not necessarily true. Most of the people who rejected the Messengers and will fail on Day of Judgment were powerful leaders that lived a life of luxury and ease and they forgotten the real test of life. If worldly life is easy, chances are the Day of Judgment will be harder. People who have less, have less to answer for but those who have more, are gonna be questioned more by Allah. There is also group of people mentioned in the Qur’an, that are completely oblivious of next life and chosen this life as their only life. They only want the riches of this world so Allah judges them here and gives whatever they want but they will get nothing afterwards. A raw and poor deal. As for those who struggle, their suffering calls them to God, their sins are constantly being forgiven, their responsibilities are less and if they are patient and follow what is right, they will have an easy reckoning in comparison.
