Reasons That Prevent Some People From Seeing The Good

good from the evil:

We made everything on the earth adornment for it so
that We could test them to see whose actions are the
best. (Surat al-Kahf: 7)
Because man's entire life is part of a test, nothing that
befalls him is accidental. If a person fails to grasp that there
is a purpose behind these events, falsely assuming that they
happen apart and independently of God, then he commits a
grave error. Because, all events that take place in the course
of life are, in actuality, trials specially designed for him by

God. Man is held responsible for his responses and
behaviour through the course of these trials. The way he
conducts himself, and the morality he evinces, determine his
reward or punishment in the life of the Hereafter.
That nothing—whether the experience is insignificant or
great—occurs accidentally, that everything that takes place in
our life are all events predetermined in our destiny, are facts
a person must always keep in mind. As long as a person
keeps his mind occupied with their remembrance, he will
never forget that everything he meets in life is ultimately
good for him. That is, what he encounters is merely what
God wills for him. To sum up, it is essential to keep in mind
that this world is a place of test by which we are expected to
see the good and divine purposes of this life.

God does not place a burden on a person
greater than he can bear

God puts every person through different trials with
various types of events and through different acquaintances.
