This story is one of thhe best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that you have all have seen. It is an explanation other people will understand.

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exist, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abondoned children? if God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things"

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.... just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept.

The customer turned back and entered the barbershop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist!"

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they didi, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist ! What happens is, people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point!..God, too, DOES exist! what happpens is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

It say in The Holy Qur'an :

"Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by (reason of) what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of (the consequence of) what they have done that perhaps they will return (to righteousness)"....

Well its because God is Existance. Everything else exists, and if Humans ignore God he will respect their choices. So rather blame the enemy Satan for the poverty of man kind and his influence in mans choices.

Poverty only exists where there is no True God .Jehova Jireh.
