Why Allah Created Pain and Suffeerings?

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 abt so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of ALLAH,
>> the barber said: "I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ALLAH EXISTS."
>> WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?" asked the customer.
>> "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realise that ALLAH DOESN'T EXIST. Tell me, IF ALLAH EXISTS, Would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If ALLAH EXISTED, ther would be neither suffering NOR pain. I can't imagine a LOVING ALLAH 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 an untrimmed beard. >> He looked dirty and unkept.
>> 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 did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and UNTRIMMED BEARDS, like that man outside."
>> "Ah, but barbers DO EXIST! that's what happens when people do not come to me."
>> "EXACTLY!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point ALLAH, too, DOES EXIST! That's what happens when people do NOT GO TO HIM & DON'T LOOK TO HIM FOR HELP. That's why there's so much pain & suffering in the World."

Mecca has long been a commercial as well as a religious center, but increasingly global brands dominate here..

"Mecca is becoming like Las Vegas, and that is a disaster," said Ali al-Ahmed, director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs in Washington, a Saudi opposition research organization. "It will have a disastrous effect on Muslims because going to Mecca will have no feeling. There is no charm anymore. All you see is glass and cement."
