Life favors some people and plays unfairly with others. Why this happens?

We can all look at a world that is all the difference and inequality between humans. Per capita income for some in advanced countries is $ 20,000 a year, while per capita income in some developing countries is $ 1,000 or less. In some African countries, life expectancy is 45 years, while in Japan the average age is 80 years. Some countries provide free education to their children, while in some countries poor people must save money for a long time to pay for their children's education.
Let's think again. A smoker lives in an excellent health condition and dies at age 80. One may have an IQ 140 and can easily study lessons and education, while another person can force their units with IQ75. A family may live in a house of 8 bedrooms that has a golf course while the other family lives in a small two-bedroom house in the dirtiest area of the city. These contradictions continue.
Perhaps we can not fully understand why these contradictions exist. Something tells us that this is not right, it's not fair, it's not fair. We say that life is not just for those who are ill, poor or harassed. How can we live in this complex world? I must confess that these kinds of questions have come to my mind many times, without being able to find a definitive answer to that. But only God knows the reason. Although we may not have a response to it, we can trust God to show you a few small references to find out the cause of this situation.
First, as in the Bible, we live on a cursed earth (Gospel, Genesis 19-17: 3). This curse does not disappear until we enter the new heaven and the new earth. This is a deserted world and we see this all over the world. Even though we live here, the impact of sins means that some people must live in poverty and misery, illness and oppression. This situation must be tolerated so that the messenger of Allah will eliminate all of it and allow his loyal children to enter a new land that is all good and clean.
Secondly, sometimes God allows for his own purposes inconvenient and unpleasant events. During the prophet's time, many of their parents did not lose their children, they did not suffer loss of land and herds, and did not tolerate the terrible pain. However, Job, who "was innocent, honest, godfeared, and deviated from the devil," endured all this. It did not look just. And Job felt all this injustice. Neither Job nor his friends knew anything about the previous confrontation between God and Satan. It seemed to them that it was totally unfair that a clean man suffered such a pain. How could God allow such a thing? This was the same problem that the Asaf of the Prophet was with the handmaid. Only when he was able to see the spiritual and eternal approach of the welfare of the oppressors and the suffering of the devotees who could see everything in the eyes of God. Third, when we see all the suffering in the world, such as poverty, illness and torture of certain people, we know that God has in mind something higher than what we can see. Perhaps God is trying to attract the attention of those who suffer, those who are determined to suffer so much pain as to understand repentance and the freedom of forgiveness.
Fourth, when we see the inequalities of the world, we can understand that God has given such reasons for some reason. He does not always tell us what he does or does not do. In the Bible, the Torah states: "The mystery is in the hands of the Lord, but the things that are revealed are ours and our sons, so that we can see all the words of this law" (Second Book, 29:29). While it may not tell us why it allows a child to be born with HIV-infected parents in a remote rural village in Africa, and another baby with the highest levels of health in the luxury embrace of the richest family in America, but we know it. That God knows everything. And we must let him be god and do whatever he wants.
Last, perhaps because God allows the inequality in the world to allow us to see our eyes for something better and better in the future. Human beings have been suffering with pain, suffering, rejection and many illnesses, seeking eternal peace alongside God. When they see the misfortunes of the world, their hearts are narrowed to Paradise. Their pain and discomfort are healed only by the notion of bliss.
In spite of the difficult conditions that we may face, we must trust God. There are many experiments that we can not understand, but we must know that God knows everything and this can calm our thought. Prophet Solomon says, "Trust in God from the bottom and do not rely on your perception. Thanks in any way to him, and he will pave the way for you. " Let's trust God where our minds do not understand it.
