I’m Muslim, but sometimes I seriously struggle with my faith in Allah. Like, why does Allah give some people so much while others get so little?
Imagine being born into a family where your parents don’t really understand or care about your development. You grow up eating mostly soft foods, usually just whatever your family can afford or whatever is available. For example, bread with butter and sugar sprinkled on top, with tea, or cookies soaked in tea until they’re almost completely soft. You wait until dinner just to finally eat something decent, and even then, it’s usually just a carb-heavy or fatty soup, pasta, etc.
Then, at 4–5 years old, you develop sinusitis, but your parents just take you to a free public clinic where you barely get examined, and they simply give you some nasal sprays. Eventually, you end up with chronic seasonal sinusitis, and you’ve been breathing through your mouth since you were four. And at that point, it feels like it’s already too late.
Meanwhile, another person is born into a wealthy family—or maybe not even a wealthy family, just a family that genuinely takes good care of their child’s health and development. And that person grows up as an HTN.
Why is God not fair?
People will say, “Yeah, yeah, it’s just a test. You’ll receive your reward in the afterlife.”
Okay, but can I still be happy in this life?
