Mufti Menk – Why Does Allah Allow Suffering

			Why does Allah Subhana Allah Allah allow bad things to happen? If he's so merciful? Why would he do
that?
		

			As well as Rahman Rahim. So the first thing that we need to remember is our position with Allah
subhanahu wa taala. If we bear that in mind, then it becomes clear. Allah subhanho wa Taala created
us He is the creator and we are the created we are the creatures of Allah subhanho wa Taala created
by him. In the Quran, Allah subhanahu Attalus is law us Edwin F arrow will whom use Arun, he will
not be questioned as to what he does and they will be questioned. So as a slave, a servant of Allah
subhanaw taala we need to understand that our position is one of slave and servant, we render our
lives we render our actions and everything that we can for Allah subhanho wa taala. Secondly, there
		

			is no denying that everything that happens, happens with the decree of Allah subhanahu wa taala. So
it is ultimately allowed and permitted by Allah subhanho wa taala. So someone may think that if the
Lord Almighty is so powerful, then why doesn't he just stop all the suffering? While in reality, if
we take a look at when human beings were being created, Allah subhanho wa Taala says that he the
angels asked a similar question attach Luffy hammer you see Doofy while you were asked if he could
demand will you place on earth those whom will cause corruption and spill blood? They will spill
blood? What was the response from Allah subhanho wa Taala in nee Allah mo Mala Taleban, I know that
		

			which you don't know which means that our brains are limited to a certain capacity. Allah subhanahu
wa taala gave us free will. And every one of us here can say that we experienced that on a daily
basis. So if I want to lift a cup, I can lift it up. If I want to scratch my face, I can if I want
to walk somewhere I can. So Allah subhanahu wa taala gave us free will but everything was decreed
before it came into existence. And there is no denying this fact how the two work together is beyond
your and my mind. And what does that do? That is where we say we submit to a bull is that you will
gelar we submit to Allah subhanahu wa taala Our minds are too small to fathom the reality of this.
		

			Secondly, I'd like to add
		

			that
		

			you may think
		

			that what is happening is terrible. It is evil, it's bad. But why do you attribute that evil to
Allah subhanho wa Taala when you have the remedy as humanity in your hands, Allah subhanho wa Taala
gave you the remedy. He gave you the ability to do something about it. So why are you talking about
God's position, talk about yourself and what you've done and what you can do. While Fussa do feel
better, we will bury Bhima cassava to aid in us. The corruption has spread on Earth by that which
the hands of men have achieved have attained and earned is it God that pressed that button to send
the missile and bomb children? Is it God that pulled that trigger and killed that child? Is it God
		

			that did all of these atrocities? No, it is a human being so why do you attribute to God that which
you did yourself? So BarakAllahu li Kang May Allah subhanahu wa taala grant us the understanding
