Allah says in Surah Sajdah: 21
"And We will surely let them taste the minor punishment [in this world] before the greater punishment [in the hereafter], so that they may return."
In other words, Allah is saying, "I Am willing to break your heart and let you cry endlessly at night than see you screaming in Jahannam."
That heartbreak... that loss...that overwhelming feeling....it wasn't cruelty. It was mercy.
Sometimes Allah lets us taste a smaller pain in this dunya, so that He can save us from the crushing pain of the Akhirah.

Al-Hafidh Abu Nu'aym - rahimahullahu ta'ala - relates in the book, Asma' as-Sababah, by way of Shaykh Abu Sulayman Ad-Darani (d. 215H) - rahimahullahu ta'ala - who related from 'Alqamah ibn Al-Harith al-Azdi, from his father, from his grandfather who mentioned the saying of Luqman the wise when he said to his son:
"I have gathered my wisdom for you in six sentences: Work for this world in proportion to how long you shall remain in it, and work for the Hereafter in proportion to how long you shall remain in it. Commit acts of sin in proportion to how much you can endure it. Act for Allah in accordance to how much you are in need of Him. Commit acts of disobedience in accordance to how much you can endure the punishment. Do not ask except from the One who is in need of no one. And when you intend to commit a sin against Allah, then do it in a place where He cannot see you."
Ibrahim al-Khawwas - rahimahullahu ta'ala - said:
"The cure for the hearts is in five things: reciting the Qur'an with reflection and contemplation; emptying the stomach (i.e. frequent fasting); praying at night; humbling oneself in the early hours of the morning; and being in the company of the salihin (righteous)."
Ibrahim ibn Adham (d. 160H) - rahimahullahu ta'ala - said in an admonition, when he was asked (by some people) about the saying of Allah - the Most High: "Call upon Me and I will respond to you." [Al-Qur'an 40:60] (They said): We call upon Him, but He does not respond to us. So he said to them:
We ask Allah to grant us the ability to please Him and to bestow upon us His mercy.
"You know Allah, yet you do not obey Him. You recite the Qur'an, but you do not act according to it. You know Shaytan, but still agree with him. You claim to love Allah's Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, yet you abandon his Sunnah. You claim to love Paradise, yet you do not work for it. You claim to fear the Fire, yet you do not stop sinning. You say: Indeed death is true, yet you have not prepared for it. You busy yourselves with the faults of others, but you do not look at your own faults. You eat the sustenance that Allah provides for you, yet you are not grateful to Him. You bury your dead, but you have not heeded its lesson."
We ask Allah to grant us the ability to please Him and to bestow upon us His mercy.
