When we think about the cycles of life, the ebb and flow of good and bad things, can we see the perspective of God within? God placed suffering and adversity on people so that they might learn humility. Innocent children are taken to test their parents. But the suffering did not teach the humans any humility. Look at history: in times of suffering, the killer kills more, the plunderer takes more, their hearts became hard, the suffering increased.
When at last the hard times ceased and the humans forgot the past. Then abundance came upon them, and they reveled in decadence and excess. Then suddenly bad times came again, and they fell into despair. And they turn away now- do you think it is pointless to explain anything at all to them, since they are going to turn away anyway?
Not so, for there are still people who believe in all sincerity in God, and that they will have to face God. God is their only Protector and Intercessor. They are people who call on God all the time, day or night. We cannot turn them away, even though we are not responsible for their actions, nor are they responsible for our actions. Then they see some more gifted than others, and they question Allah's fairness? Allah is the One who knows best who is grateful. So whenever you meet those who believe in the Signs of God, say to them "Peace be on you."
