This is a common retort of disbelievers throughout the ages and even at the time of the Prophet sallallahou alaihe wassallam. The fallacy of this argument is evident once one considers the following:
Why did Allah send Messengers?
Why did Allah send the Holy Books?
Why did Allah give the Messengers miracles?
Allah has given us the freedom to choose between right and wrong.
If Allah forced us to be good, we would be Angels.
See the next verse
Unfortunately some Muslims have also adopted this attitude. Thus even if some Muslims have the means, health to go for Hajj, they postpone it saying
I will go for Hajj if Allah wants me to go
We should adopt all halal means to achieve something, if we are unable to achieve it due to circumstances beyond our control, then we can say in hindsight that it was not written (in my destiny) for me to achieve it. We will be rewarded for the effort we undertook.
