In summary, we can say that the difficulties and anguishes which human beings bear, nurtures them. The Holy Qur’an says: "It may be that you dislike a thing and God brings about through it a great deal of good".(4:19) Difficulties cause one to turn back to God In the previous discussions, we have seen that, little by little, our being has a goal or purpose. Our eyes are for a purpose; our ears are for a purpose; our heart, brain and nerves each have been created for a purpose.

Even our finger tips have a philosophy behind them. Thus, how is it possible that our total being be without a purpose? At the same time, for the completion of this task, one must look every once in a while at one’s sins and one’s transgressions must be shown or pointed out. In facing difficulties in following God’s Commands, one becomes familiar with one’s ugly and evil deeds and will turn back to God.

It is here that a part of the difficulties and unforeseen events are, in reality, Divine blessings. The Holy Qur’an says: "Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of (the deed) that the hands of men have earned, that (God) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from evil).” (30:41) Noting what we have said above, painful events are confirmations of evil and interpreting them as calamities that are considered to be in opposition to Divine Justice is far from logic and intellectual reasoning because the further we go into this narrow way, we will better understand the various philosophies.

Think and Answer What is the purpose of our Creation? How can we reach there? How is a person strengthened by facing difficulties? Have you ever seen people or read about them in history who have suffered difficulties and developed themselves? Write about their Lives, What does the Qur’an say in relation to our Sins? Which people attain positive results from bitter events and which ones, negative results Previous…
