Dear Islamic brothers! Indeed, there is wisdom in every matter of Allah Almighty, there is wisdom in bestowing wealth on someone, there is wisdom in keeping someone in a state of poverty and hardship, but we are unable to understand its wisdom. Let's listen to a blessed hadith for encouragement.

Great wisdom in poverty and affluence

The Merciful Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, that Allah Almighty stated: Certainly some of My believing servants are such that the goodness of their Iman is in wealth. If I make them poor, their Iman will be ruined because of it. Indeed, some of My believing servants are such that the goodness of their Iman is in poverty. If I make them wealthy, their Iman will be ruined because of it. I take care of the affairs of My servants with My knowledge. Verily, I am All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 8, p. 355, Raqm 12485, summarised)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
