So,

So, today in insha'Allah, talking about Ion number 82, where Kader Ali, he said, I'm going to explain his reasons for why he built that wall and why what was behind him.

But before then, in the previous verse, I spoke about how Allah Azza wa Jalla saved two believing parents from several calamities, not just one, several calamities.

He saved them from a child who was going to grow up to be a horror for them in countless ways, and we tried to count those ways in which he was going to be a terror for them.

In fact, the worst of those ways was he was going to cost them their own faith.

So, they were going to end up covering for their criminal child and in the process losing their own faith too.

And one of the reasons Allah allowed for that child's life to be taken sooner was because he wanted to preserve the faith of those parents he knew that is a trial they cannot bear.

Allah has told us in the Qur'an that you can leave for Allah who loves and Allah does not burden any person with any burden that they cannot bear.

Though that ayah is about Sharia that Allah gave us law that we knew we could carry, it also represents a deeper wisdom.

And that is, some people can handle some things, other people cannot handle the same thing.

Some people can handle the heat, other people are just dying in the heat.

Some people can handle a long class, other people are in a coma in 20 minutes, they can't handle a long lecture.

There are different people with different thresholds in different things.

These parents, and some parents may not be able to cope with the loss of a child, they may never be able to cope from it.

And other parents may actually have more of a threshold for that pain than other parents. Allah knows who has what strength and what weakness.

So, our trials in life are not actually the same because Allah did not give us the same capacity to bear certain kinds of tests.

And whatever tests do come our way or within our capacity to bear.

Now, I did address one of the philosophical questions that is raised by this.

And that is that, well, sometimes there are people that are given a test that they cannot bear.

For example, somebody dies of a disease. The test was a disease and they couldn't bear the disease and they died.

Somebody was given a trial and as a result of that trial, that difficulty they were given the death sentence falsely.
