About this listen

If Allah is the Most Merciful…

Why do pain, injustice, illness, and tragedy exist?

In Episode 5 of Learning Islam from Scratch, this deeply emotional and difficult question is explored with honesty and clarity.

In this thoughtful father-daughter conversation, they discuss:

• Why life is described as a test in the Qur’an
• Whether suffering contradicts Allah’s mercy
• The role of free will in injustice
• How Islam gives meaning to pain
• Why this world is temporary — and the Hereafter is permanent

This episode does not ignore suffering.
It seeks to understand it.

Because faith is not about denying pain —
it is about trusting the One who sees the full picture.
