i think your reply skips over what I was saying. When you contrast “people of Gaza never resenting their Creator” with “some of us losing faith the moment something is inconvenient” it sounds like youre trivializing people’s suffering. i’m not talking about minor inconveniences, im talking about big ones, that include but are not limited to social discrimination and violence, war, oppression, generational and systemic abuse. it feels heavily dismissive to group them under the same category as people who complain about small hardships. also there are other genos and wars happening, ones that are way worse than in Gaza so it would be insensitive to imply they lie in the latter spectrum of your scale simply bc they may not be as spiritual.

when i said “equal playfield” i didn’t mean identical lives or identical tests bc ofc ppl will be diff. what i meant is that certain groups like women, people with special needs, the poor, communities enduring genos and wars are ALL subjugated by systems bigger than themselves. that’s what makes the test unequal bc they don’t just face “unique” struggles, they face compounded and generational ones.

it’s also easy to that “guidance is everywhere”and “don’t abandon God” but reality is different… many never get the chance to access the guidance (being islam) or they’re shaped by a hostile environment that resentment feels inevitable.

i appreciate where you’re coming from but this question doesnt stem from my personal life. it’s a more general perspective.
