The cause for difficulties in our lives

Question

If any difficulties come in life, is that because of our deeds (amal)?

Answer

Generally it is because of our a`maal and there may be other reasons as well for difficulties coming our way. It does not always have to be due to our a`maal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
