Thus, whoever is nearer to God Almighty is afflicted with more afflictions. Surah al-Shura - Verse 31 وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصِيرٍ 31. And you cannot escape from Allah [and leave His Dominance] in the earth and besides Allah you have neither any protector nor any helper. Man pays for the consequences of his evil deeds but he may not harm God Almighty in the least.
