Allah uses problems for five reasons: 1) To direct people in a new direction and motivate change. 2) To inspect people and reveal what is inside them, testing their faith. 3) To correct people by teaching valuable lessons through pain and failure. 4) To protect people by preventing more serious harm, as problems can be blessings in disguise. 5) To perfect people by building character when problems are responded to correctly, as character is important for the afterlife.
