Then He, the Exalted, said: [Saba 34:36] to the end of it. In this is the affirmation of the will of Allah, due to His saying: and the affirmation of voluntary actions, due to His saying: It also contains the fact that the abundance of wealth and children does not indicate approval, but rather it is contingent upon why? The will of Allah.
Among them is: the great, far-reaching wisdom in the difference among people regarding the expansiveness and narrowness of provision. Were it not for that, the interests of creation would not be established. If people were on an equal footing in wealth, would some serve others? No, and some would not fulfill the interests of others. Look at His saying, the Exalted:[Az-Zukhruf 43:32] Why? [Al-Zukhruf: 32] And were it not for this difference in the expansion of provision and its abundance, this great benefit would not be realized, which is the subjugation of people to one another.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is: that most people are ignorant of the wisdom of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, in their actions, due to His saying:[Al-A'raf 7:187].
Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts
قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُfor whoever wishes

No, and some would not fulfill the interests of others. Look at His saying, the Exalted:
Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَعِيشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍthat they may make use of one another for service
