It is always stated that the world has changed, that is the cause of difficulties happening. But it is the people who have changed their ways, but the world is still the same. The sun and moon comes from the same place where they used to be, the sand on this earth is the same, the trees are still growing the way they used to. Sura Yasin states in v.38-40 that:

“And the sunruns unto a resting place, for him: that is the decree of (thim), the Exalted in might, the all knowing. And the moon we have measured for her stations (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower pait of a date stalk. It is not permitted to the sun to catch up the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day each (just) swims along in lits own) orbit (According to Law).

There is no tribe on this earth that the Almighty did not send a messenger to guide them. But unfortunately they did not follow the message that is brought to them which is the cause of all these problems. Sura Nahl v.36 states.” For we assuredly sent amongst every people messenger, (with the command), serve Allah and eschew Evil of the people were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom Error became Inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the truth).”

If there are changes in the good that Allah did for man, it is from man but not from the Almighty. Sura Anfal v.53: “Because Allah will., never change the Grace which the hath bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) souls: And verily Allah is the who heareth and knoweth (all things).”

Nowadays most of the people do things in their favour, they do not follow Allah’s directives. They only do what suits them and leave the rest.

There is a problem in all corners of the earth. Done by heavy winds earth quakes causing sudden deaths, rain and storm. These punishments are done according to the crime that we committed. Sura Ankabut v.40:” Each one of them we seized for his crime: of them, against some we sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones): some were caught by a (mighty) blast; some we caused the earth to swallow up, and some  we drowned (in the waters): They wronged themselves.” Sura Ariam v.44: “But when they forgot the warning they had received we opened to them the gates of all (good) things, until, in the midst of their enjoyment of our gifts, on a sudden, we called them to account, when lo! They were plunged in despair.”

Now people do not worship Allah, but money and position. They are always searching for wealth no matter how. Abu Thurairata harrated that the prophet (SAWS) said: let the slave of Dinar and Dirham, and Khamisa (l.e. money and luxurious clothes) perish as he is pleased if these things are given to him, and if not, he is displeased. Let such a person perish and relapse, and if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him.

Tuba (all kinds of happiness, or a tree in Paradise) is for him who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah’s  cause, with his unkempt and feet covered with dust: if he is appointed in the vahguard, he is perfecthy satisfied with his post of guarding, he accepts his post with satisfaction: (he is so simple and unambitions that) if he asked for permission (before a ruler) he is not permitted, and if he intercedes, his intercession is not accepted (because of his simplicity).”
