The human beings are created to only call upon God, for help and attainment of every glad tiding they receive from God breathed into their Souls; the Soul is the unseen creation, a Receptor for the inspiration of God who sends down His messages and guidance in each one's heart towards their attainment.
We are to follow God all through our lives for the greater and greater attainment upon the earth and upon the heavens and everything He has created in between by His Will so that you will not diseases and distresses and afflictions from any corner of your habitat.
If we follow the people at large deviating from the Soulful guidance of God, then we lose our ground below us and the heavens split apart from us; and gates of all hell is opened up for us in from below us and from above us. But worse still, despite every evil we suffer, we will be made to think we are on the right track to make us go far astray. Until our pride that makes us feel we will be achieving in this world all by ourselves, without the help and guidance of Allah, will be sufficient enough of our wrong doings to earn the sufferings and all afflictions from every direction we turn to.
6.42 We have sent already unto peoples that were before you, and We seized them with poverty and diseases, in order that they might become humble.
11.3 And say, "Seek forgiveness of your God and repent to Him; He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every good doer His guidance. But if you turn away, then indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a great Day.
