The text empathizes with the questioner, who is going through difficult circumstances, and clarifies that this world is not a field for immediate divine justice. Many prophets and righteous people were subjected to injustice and murder, and they did not witness God's vengeance upon their oppressors in this world. This is because God tests His servants to elevate their ranks, increase the torment of the oppressors, and purify the صف (ranks) of the believers. The text also advises patience, gratitude for blessings, striving to change circumstances, and not hesitating to seek specialized help when needed.
