Question:
This questioner says: If a calamity has occurred as a result of a servant's action, then is it...
Answer:
It is mentioned in a hadith from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, that when He knows from His servant that he will not be rectified, He says: "Among My servants is one whom only poverty will rectify; if I were to make him wealthy, that would corrupt his religion. And among My servants is one whom only wealth will rectify; if he were to become poor, that would corrupt his religion." So Allah makes wealthy and makes poor by His wisdom and His knowledge of the servant's state with the blessing and with the punishment. This is from the mercy of Allah and His compassion for His servants. Yes.
