How can we assume we are getting good only? Al\u1e25amdulill\u0101h, I try to follow most obligations of All\u0101h, since I was a teenager. I have always been very obedient to my parents also. I am treated as an ideal person among my friends and relatives; however, I still face hardship for the past couple of years and I am tired of asking for help from All\u0101h as I get no help. Sometimes, I feel regret for being obedient because of this helpless nature. Now, where is the good? Should we not expect any good in this <em>Duniya<\/em> (world). Is this not unjust?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><u>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><u>Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It should be noted that this <em>dunya<\/em> (worldly life) is full of ups and downs.
