In philosophy, this is called the problem of evil and suffering. Evil must come from somewhere, but if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all good, and the sole creator of the world, then why is there evil and suffering? The problem can only be resolved if at least one of these propositions is false. Therefore if God is all-powerful, he is either not all-knowing and is therefore unaware of all the evil in the world, or he is not all-good and is unconcerned about all. Evil and suffering exist because at least one proposition of religion is false.
because there is evil in the world
A lot of people ask themselves...If God is all powerful and loving, then why is there evil and suffering in the world. Evil as in crime and murder and suffering as in earthquakes, hurricanes or even an illness. What I have learned in my R.E lesson is that if there is no evil and suffering, there is no generosity in the world and the best thing I like about Islam is that most of it is to do about thinking less about yourself and thinking more about others. Most important is to give to charity. If there is no suffering, there is no charity, and if there is no charity, less people will think about others.
Christians do not believe God participated in any problems of evil and suffering. The Scripture clearly shows that it was/is man's choice to depart from God and His Law of Righteousness to follow the god of this world - ha Satan who is the main cause of evil and suffering in this world.

There is no connection...
It is possible for good to emerge from evil and suffering in the form of personal growth, resilience, empathy, and solidarity among those affected. Adversity often presents opportunities for individuals and communities to come together, reflect on values, and enact positive change.
Some people struggle to reconcile the existence of evil and suffering with the idea of a benevolent and all-powerful God. This can lead them to question or reject their belief in God's existence, as they see these things as incompatible. The presence of evil and suffering in the world can challenge their faith and raise existential doubts about the nature of God.
Usually suffering is the result of committing some evil act. Our conscience gets the beter of us and so we suffer from guilt at having committed evil.

This holds that God created the world but, having created it, takes no further part in his creation and no interest in the people who inhabit the world.
People may reject belief in God if they hear or see of evil and suffering because they are told he is omnipotent, omnibenevolent and onmiscience. So if they are told he is all of these then why cant he stop the evil and suffering?
"Theodicy" is a term used to describe philosophical attempts to justify or explain the existence of evil or suffering in the world despite the belief in a benevolent and all-powerful deity. It often involves exploring questions about the nature of God, human free will, and the problem of evil.
Theodicy in religion means to attempt to resolve the evidential problem of evil by reconciling the divine characteristics of omnipotence, omniscience and onmibenevolence with the occurrence of evil or suffering in the world.
