Aoa you mentioned ur experience. This is why i said it
OK sister. I get it. I feel you're going through something. If you read my previous posts you'll see that in the past I went through a lot, too. Things have changed when I changed myself, as Allah referred in Qur'aan.
“Verily, Allaah will not change the condition of a people as long as they do not change their state themselves ” [al-Ra’d 13:11]
Get to know Allah and what He says in Qur'aan - accept it.
Now, observing others' lives can lead you to despair. You shouldn't because you don't know what's actually happening, what's the relationship between that person and Allah. Maybe that person hasn't learned enough about something and Allah is teaching her/him something.
You have your own life, your own path, your own relationship with Him.
You know the story about Khidr and Musa a.s. from Surah Kahf? Remember those kids and their wealth? Go and read it just for reminder. Now, imagine how many duas their mother did before those kids got their wealth revealed? And Allah knew it's better to hide the wealth until they hit maturity. Can you imagine how desperate she was, or maybe she wasn't (Allah knows best).
What you need to do is to trust Allah or learn to trust Him. If He says He'll give you more if you're grateful, than He will. If something happens bad, it's just a test. He'll still give you, but be patient.
He also said that the true believer is the one who is patient in prayer when something bad happens. In reality, very often the hardship lifts up when you make through it with patience and prayer.
Sometimes when everything is fine, you're happy and satisfied, Allah gives you hardship mostly to make you closer to Him and the hardship won't pass until you do.
So, there's no luck. There's just following Allah's guidance from Quran. Trust me, so simple.
Nowadays I'm happy when something starts happening, some kind of a hardship, because He's warning me before Dunya becomes dearer to me that Akhirah and Him. Alhamdulillah, if I realize that on time, the hardship fades away at its beginning. Just trust Him and get closer to Him.
Sometimes I don't understand what's going on, then I ask Him in prayer to show me the way and He does from so many parts, sides, paths, ways...
In the end, this might help you more:
[FONT="]The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.'
