The Fruits Of Knowledge

Allāh says in the Noble Quran
خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلࣲۚ سَأُو۟رِیكُمۡ ءَایَـٰتِی فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ
خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلٖۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٣٧
Man is created of haste, I will show you My Ayat (torments, proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So ask Me not to hasten (them). (37)
Al-Anbiya', Ayah 37

Likewise - Allāh also tells us ;

وَیَدۡعُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَاۤءَهُۥ بِٱلۡخَیۡرِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ عَجُولࣰا
وَيَدۡعُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلۡخَيۡرِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَجُولٗا ١١
And man invokes (Allah) for evil as he invokes (Allah) for good and man is ever hasty [i.e., if he is angry with somebody, he invokes (saying): "O Allah! Curse him, etc." and that one should not do, but one should be patient].17:11 Al-Isra.

And the intent behind this ayah, as the people of knowledge have clarified, is just as mankind asks ALLAH the most high for good - when calamity afflicts him he dwells in a state of anger. he begins to evoke Allaah to destroy certain things - or to curse certain people.
And this is from ( Ajal = Hastiness ) which is in mankind. From this hastiness is that when something afflicts them via wealth, children, life, they begin to have ill will about Allāh or a sense of grudge towards him ( Allāh is free from all imperfections and deficiencies) also including hard feelings towards him ( Allāh). And you hear such questions crop up innately or outwardly such as,
1. Why’s he doing this to me
2. Why am I being tested in such a way.
And they forget that this world is nothing but a itihaan ( Test ).
And likewise when Allāh (الرَّزَّاقُ ) gives them from his bounty and rahma ( mercy) and he blesses them them with affluence, health, wealth & position, they feel happy, they feel and honoured & and they feel as if everything that they wished for at that point was within their grasp. So Allaah also tells us about them in the Quran, when Allāh the Most high said :

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَیَقُولُ رَبِّیۤ أَكۡرَمَنِ
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ ١٥

As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): "My Lord has honoured me." Al-Fajr, Ayah 15
———————
وَأَمَّاۤ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَیۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَیَقُولُ رَبِّیۤ أَهَـٰنَنِ
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ١٦

But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!" Al-Fajr, Ayah 16

And this is the state of many of us in mankind.
When good reaches us we are pleased and happy ( head over heels ) likewise when the tests comes to us and we are tested through a number of channels we have mentioned earlier , we begin to have those feelings of ill will and grudges and bad thoughts about Our Creator Allāh.
And the worse of these we find people turning back on their faith ( we seek protection from this from Allāh )
