Allah (SWT) is able to do anything He wishes to do. If that is indeed true, why do bad things happen to us? Why does evil exist in this world? Can’t Allah (SWT) prevent anything bad from happening?
Ustadha Taimiyyah Zubair explains further and answers.
Speaker 1 discusses the negative impact of bad things happening and the importance of knowing who we are and what purpose we have. They also mention that hardships in life only make sense when we understand the purpose of our existence.
There are many answers to this question. But in summary, bad things happen because this life is a
test. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, that Allah is the one who has created death and life
in order to test us in order to see as to which of us perform good deeds. hardships in life only
make sense to us when we understand why we are here. Who who we belong to, and what the purpose of
our existence is.
