AW All

I am sure many people who are now adults have had experiences as children that they look back upon and wonder what the meaning behind it was?

For example going on a school trip as a 7 year old and being pushed into a river by another child for no apparent reason? Being bullied, or verbally abused by the adults in ones life or falsely accused about something when they were innocent. What lessons are we supposed to learn from this does anyone have any answers? I did used to think that it was a way of learning that the world is a place of suffering and not something that should be trusted or loved. But it does make someone who thinks like this gloomy and depressed and this is not the natural state of the Muslim is it, should we not be joyous, trusting and loving towards others, instead of suspicious and weary?

Salaamu alaiykum wa rahmatullah
This is something I was thinking when reading this (NOT based on solid 'ilm)
I think every single human being has learnt his lesson for putting his tawakul on a creation. The dunya will always let us down. But most of the time, it is not because the dunya (or the people) are mean or do it on purpose (sometimes yes). It is part of the nature. The dunya doesn't make you the centre of the world - it has to account for everybody e.g. if you wanted something and when you reach there, there is a huge line of people in front, it puts you down but that's how it is because everyone wanted it also. However Allah is the one who you should put tawakul on while dealing with the dunya. So I think there's a lesson there. Whenever you get bullied or betrayed, it's a lesson that you should put tawakul on Allah.
May Allah forgive any shortcomings I have said.
