Critical Examination of Islam > What is the nature of God?
God's Care
Carlee:
Appreciate the responses, but I would actually like to know why would an all-powerful and all-merciful god let such terrible things happen to people. The key words here are let happen.
Is it because of some ego caused by Satan's disobediance? If so who honestly gives a crap. If God was so great to his people he would've erased Satan on the spot and made us all happy angelic beings in his heaven.
Secondly once again people talk about suffering due to the actions of others. What about natural disasters?

The fact I'm posting it here after already trying this several times only tells me there is no such being, or one that gives a crap.
If there is then it's too obsessed w/ making people believe in its existence without giving a clue it exists; it has no feelings or is vulnerable like so many humans yet humans can get no answers to their questions and suffer due to a lack of any direct involvement from it.
good logic:
Peace Carlee.
We have to ask a deeper question of ourselves. GOD is never unjust GOD brings out the true conviction of individuals.
Everyone goes through the trial.Sometimes we do not even know if what we are asking GOD is right.
17:11″ The human being often prays for something that may harm him/her, thinking that he/she is praying for something good.”
Sometimes we try and give GOD preconditions, ultimatum. It does not work. HE knows our innermost thoughts and intentions:
22:11″ Among the people, there is the one who serves ( and prays to ) GOD conditionally. If things go his/her way, he/she is content. But ,if some adversity befalls him/her, he/she makes an about face. Thus he/she loses both this life and the hereafter. Such is the real loss.” ( You have to stay loyal to GOD? Even if your prayer is not answered?)
All I can say, it is between you and your creator. You choose.
Peace.
Carlee:
I see that no one can answer the question.
Plus I never complained that I didn't get what I want in life. I only want to be in a certain mental state, to be happy to be alive even to the slightest degree. The opposite of depressed, and not grieving and desiring to end my life as soon as possible. As I've said, it's not a matter of not having everything be the way you want. It's about one's life being unbearable, scarred by painful memories they can't get rid of; weeping frequently to the point it makes them go mad, and driving them to shoot themselves at any second if they had the means, just as a person would take their hand off a hot stove top.
There can exist nothing that's all-powerful and all-merciful at the same time, if what goes on in this world was and is still allowed. One or both of these can only be half-assed. Unless you can convince otherwise, there's no point in posting stuff that're hardly relevant to what I'm discussing.

Salam Carlee,
Isn't that what happiness is all about? what fun is all about? what blessing is all about?
maybe you need to pay a price for all those states of existence?
maybe the price is that you need to put more effort to understand it from the Creator's pov?
I believe that the mind is empowering yet can be devastating.
Wallahua3lam,

This aayat may help you if you understand.
2:38 قُلۡنَا اہۡبِطُوۡا مِنۡہَا جَمِیۡعًا ۚ فَاِمَّا یَاۡتِیَنَّکُمۡ مِّنِّیۡ ہُدًی فَمَنۡ تَبِعَ ہُدَایَ فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَیۡہِمۡ وَ لَا ہُمۡ یَحۡزَنُوۡنَ
2:38 We said, "Go down from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
May Allah guide us to His true path :pr
