Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, using the name Salih al-Layth, that he asks: What is the ruling on one who complains about Allah's decrees on the grounds that he is poor while other people possess great wealth?
Answer:
It is not permissible to complain about the decrees of Allah. Rather, it is obligatory to be pleased with the divine decree and destiny of Allah, and to have patience and seek reward from Allah. Otherwise, the decree is proceeding and moving forward, even if you dislike it, and you do not know what is good for you,[Al-Baqarah 2:216]. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you.
وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْThe presenter:
