A miserable person came to the service of Imam Ali (as) and began ask: O Ameer-ul-Momneen Ali (as) you say that Allah has created thousands of blessings for human beings in the world.So my question is why did Allah create this pain and suffering?
Then Imam Ali (as) said: O man, remember that one of the great blessing of Allah it is named sorrow and give thanks to Allah that He created sorrow.
The man was very surprised to hear this from Imam Ali (as) and He said, “O Ali, is grief a blessing?”
So the Imam (as) said: O man, sorrow strengthens man.
When Allah wants to give a high position and reward whom He wants then He gives him the path of suffering.So that he can become strong and learn enough to reach his destination.
O man, remember that man’s sorrow is to teach him something, but alas, man weeps because of this sorrow.O man, no matter how much man cries because of sorrow and pain, that sorrow and pain will not end. Because sorrow and suffering have not come to make man weep, but they come to teach him something.
O man, when you learn from the sorrow that He wants to teach you, then your sorrow will end automatically
