I understand what you're getting at but... His fault? My man, again, free will. Even as a silly argument , this one cannot be made. Everyone chooses who they want to be, right? Would you rather God had made humans automatons that just follow his word to the letter like a computer program? They wouldn't be humans, you wouldn't have the awareness you have right now.
And of course everything is in His hands, He made it all and sustains it for free. Should he just unplug the universe because some people are so cunty it's painful? That wouldn't be nice to those actively and consciously trying to serve Him, just trying to live a righteous life and enjoy themselves in the process. That's what Heaven and Hell are for, which are way more lasting than this ephemeral life. And, again, I dunno why you think that the material reality, the cause and effect of things, invalidate the idea of a loving Creator or a Creator at all. Of course A follows from B and rain will get us wet and cancer will kill and people miscarry and etc etc. That's not "the problem of evil", that's just the problem of the universe (when you dislike it, if not it's just a thing like fish coming out of the ocean, developing limbs and eventually becoming human, which, again, do not invalidate God. He made the calculations for this to happen and the computer that is the universe ran it and now here we are). If you want perfection and lack of worries and pain, you gotta earn it first. You already got one existence for free! And God is not here, this is just an ant farm, God is outside of the universe. How could He create something that contained Him already?
Goodness relies on free will, forming habits and a moral framework and ideology that elevate virtue. Abrahamic - Muhammadian monotheism is the latter, and maybe you can postulate one that doesn't rely on the objective judge and rulemaker that is God, but I cannot conceive one. Eventually, someone will say "but that's just X's opinion" or "X said this but what do they know, they're human just like me, maybe they're wrong" and invalidate the whole thing.
Finally: God IS watching, and He knows what's in my heart and that I'm trying to guide people to the best of my limited abilities (I also love to yap and was an atheist myself for about two decades, which makes it way easier for me). And I think He's pleased (with this part of me at least).
