Suffering from Mawlana's point of view

Imagining life without suffering is certainly contrary to the common sense, hence the concept of suffering and pain has always preoccupied the mind of thinking men however differently expressed. Mawlana contemplated this idea profoundly. In this article Mawlana's views on different kinds of suffering, the reasons for it, and its revelating outcome has been investigated. Mawlana divides suffering into two major groups: First the kind of suffering man himself brings upon himself, and the second is the one God the beneficent bestows on man for his perfection, and growth. He regards the first kind arising from man's ignorance and his egoism, hence he rejects it. However, he accepts the suffering of the second kind for they emanate from God's grace with revelating outcomes in man's life.
