I have little knowledge of Deen to be honest. But in respect to this question I would point out two things:

1) Mankind has been appointed as vicegerent on this earth and has free will. So to me that suggests that mankind is responsible for the actions which cause pain or suffering to others, and will be called to account in the hereafter.

2) We cannot think of things in the context of man's decision making process, and apply them in the same way to the glory of God's infinite wisdom. For example a natural disaster may cause suffering or displace people - but it may have the effect of causing those with wealth to give charity to the afflicted. Or it may lead to an unseen benefit for a later generation of people. Larger picture is not always visible to those without knowledge (and in comparison to the Almighty we know nothing).
