Why Doesn't God Rescue Children in Gaza from their Suffering? | Dr. Shabir Ally

We're seeing a lot of death and destruction in Palestine, and in particular, in Gaza. Is God aware of what is going on? Why doesn't God intervene? Dr. Shabir Ally says that if God micromanaged human beings, this would diminish our free will. God judges us in the Life Hereafter and rewards or punishes us based on our choices in this life. He cautions that God will only tolerate the suffering up to certain point. God will intervene, but in the meantime, God is testing us. God doesn't just test the people suffering, but also people like us who are far removed from Gaza, and world leaders, who have the power to put an end to the vicious massacres but don't. Dr. Shabir says we can expect that God will bring about good from every act of suffering, including this one.

Thank you so much for a balanced answer. I was crying and talking to God about this and the suffering around the world. Shortly after I saw this post. I feel so much better because I know God answered me through your wisdom and insight. I am Christian and I haven't heard anyone speak with so much love and understanding regarding how God test our hearts. Blessings to you!!

We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ this Book with the truth, as a confirmation of previous Scriptures and a supreme authority on them. Quran 5 48 In this verse, the address is to Prophet Mohamed saying that to him Allah has revealed the Quran which confirms the Torah and Injil, Books previous to it, and is their custodian as well. This is because, after the people of the Torah altered the Torah and the people of Injil made changes in the Injil, it was the Quran alone which turned out to be the kind of overseer and protector which exposed the alterations made by them, lit up truth and reality in their proper perspective. Even today, the true teachings of the Torah and Injil still survive through the Quran while those who inherited them and those who claim to follow them have disfigured them to the extent that it has become impossible to distinguish truth from untruth.

But there are so many people.. even Muslims questioning their faith.. it's imp to tell people that Allah takes care of people , his believers during these tests, eg Palestinians.. where are they getting their strength from? About Firauns wife.. Aasiya ..May Allah be pleased wit her .. she smiled wen she was being tortured... I have been tested by Allah.. Alhamdulillah... I got my strength from Allah...

when we say God permits things to happen, it prosupposes that things happened on their own accord but this is not true because all things happen as a result of God's Will. He has power over all things. He is the One who make things happen. So, using the word 'permits' is limiting the absolute power of God as it implies that God does not have full control over all things. God knows best.

Zechariah 12:6 "Israel is like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves" “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place".
