Where is God's mercy amid suffering?

“By seeing human casualties around the world, especially in Muslim countries, my heart throbs with pain and I question: where is God's mercy? If He exists, and besides Islam, for the third holiest place people are killed for the protection of this place, still God doesn't do anything. Such things make me unbelieving for a long time. What is your opinion to my question?”Asked by Naveed Muhammad, Aligarh
