Our suffering or enjoyment depends on our past actions. For pios actions we enjoy and for impious actions we enjoy. One can enjoy only as long as the results of his pious activities are not finished. However, even the so-called enjoyers are actually not satisfied, because the sense gratification in this material world cannot bring true happiness to the living entity who is a spiritual being. We should not pursue material enjoyment of be devastated by material suffering, but instead dedicate our time to realize our eternal spiritual identity.

1Â John 5:19: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (Satan has fostered a spirit that dominates the thinking and activities of most of mankind. It is a spirit of selfishness and pride that is so pervasive that it is like the air that humans breathe.
Rev. 12:9: “Down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.” (Ever since this took place, following the birth of the Kingdom in 1914, the influence of Satan and his demons has intensified greatly among mankind. His spirit has goaded people to acts of increased selfishness and violence.
Will God, in his great mercy, eventually do something about it? Yes. 2 Peter 3:9 this. It says: “The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish.
Rev. 21:8, “As for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death. But Matt. 24:13, says “He who endures to the end will be saved.

Accoring to Islam, every suffering will wash away your sins, therefore if you suffer in this world then on the Judgement Day your sins will be lesser. Therefore Islam teaches us to be patient when there is a suffering, because there will be a greater reward in Afterlife.
As for the bad people, God let's them do whatever they want in this world. Because with every bad action they do they accumulate more and more sins, and that will eventually make them go to lower level of Hell (the lower the worse). And the punishement of Allah is severe!

Well I think it can go either way. I know many good people who are living a fulfilling life, and many bad people who are living their life in shambles.

Islam teaches that this life is paradise/heaven for the disbelievers and the next life is paradise for the believers.

That assertion is such a wide sweep that it really has no meaning.
