We are in a temporaryprimarystage like the childrenwhowere askedtolearnreadingandwritingbut
those kidsstruggle tounderstandthe rocketscience.
In our temporarystage,we have beenaskedtoobeyGodand to dogood deedstohelpothers,butwe
are debatingwhatwe cannotcomprehendlike‘whoisGod’,soul,or‘whatisafterlife’.
We know that God knows everything; he knows our future actions
We also know that God does not predetermine our decisions about resisting temptations, self-
constraints, good or bad deeds, or anything related to rewards or punishments
The above is just one of many things which we do not know
Justcompare the humanknowledgefewhundred yearsagowithourknowledge now.
What wouldbe the additional knowledge afterhundreds,thousands,andmillionsof yearsfromnow.
We cannotcomprehendGodinthat temporarystage of life,inQur’an42:11 God has notifiedusthat
‘There isnothinglike Him’
˹He is˺the Originatorof the heavensandthe earth.He has made foryou spousesfromamong
yourselves,and˹made˺matesforcattle ˹as well˺—multiplyingyou˹both˺.There isnothing like Him,for
He ˹alone˺isthe All-Hearing,All-Seeing’.
We are here for testing;testenvironmentnecessitatesstruggle betweengoodandevil.
Testingmissionsare notsupposedtobe easyandcomfortable.
The test questionsare notsupposedtobe knowninadvance.
Our life onearthis a very short periodcompared to the universe time scale;It couldbe a temporary
testperiod.
There are hundredsof versesandteachingsaboutthatas mentionedinthe followinganswer:

existence-in-this-world/answer/Sabri-Shahin)
We have beenaskedtobelieve inGodandHeavenbutwe have not seenGodor heaven.
Our fate will be determinedbasedonthatbelief andonourgood deeds.
2. Why didGod make ita difficulttestforus?
AlthoughGodknowswhat’sinour heartsand whateach of us mightdo,he testsusand wantsus to
witnessourowntestresultsinorderto admitthat we have beenfairlyrewardedaccordingtoour
achievementsasrecordedinthe testresults
Before the wealthyfatherdistributeshis wealth,he maywanttorecord whichsonis obedient,the
recordsare not forthe fatherwhoknows,butas a testimonyforpeople whomightquestionthe justice
of theirfather
The wise father disciplineshischildrenandprepares themfor a betterlife
Althoughthe wise teacherknowsthe hard-workingstudentandthe lazystudent,he preparesregular
examsas testimoniessothatthe studentswouldnotsaythatthe teacherhadfavoredsome students
overthe others.Examsalsourge studentstogetprepared inorderto succeed
Studentsshouldnotwonderaboutthe intentionof the teacher;theyare supposedtofocusonwhatthe
teacheraskedthemto do
If God wantsto setup the testingenvironmenttotestpeople,thenwe are notsupposedtoadvise God
on how to setup the termsand conditionsof the testing.The studentsare notsupposedtoadvise the
teacheron howto prepare the exams.Godhas createdus,and he knowshow to testus.
The testingquestionsandanswersare notsupposedtobe disclosedbefore the exam;testing
environmentnecessitatessome doubtsandenablesdifferentchoicesanddifferentdecisions.
The test doesnotdependonthe level of education,achildmaysay ‘I donot see the plane anymore,it
isgoingfar away,it is still there butmysightdoesnotreach it;God must be there butmy sightdoesnot
reach him’,buta scientistmightconclude that,‘Idonot see God,thenthere isno God’.
The test doesnotdependonthe level of religioneducation,maybesomeone whoneverheardof the
religionteachingscouldpassthe testbasedonthe natural original giftsof conscience andreason‘What
I do notwant done to myself,Iwill notdotoothers.
We mayfindsome scholarswhoknowthe religionteachingsbuttheyaccepttopersecute andtorture
others,those are the bad treeswhichthe prophetshave warnedusof themand of theirbad fruits.
The wise teachersetsdifferentevaluationcriteriafordifferentgrades;the studentsinthe firstgrade are
not evaluatedasthe studentsinthe advanceddegrees.We expectthatthe fairand wise Godwould
evaluate people accordingtowhattheyhave beenprovided.The personwhoneverheardof Prophets
wouldhave aneasiertestbasedonthe giftof intelligence andconscience;he mightgetrewardsforhis
goodworksand he mightnotbe punishedif notwicked.
Qur’an17:85
Theyask youabout the spirit.Say,“Itsnature is knownonlytoGod, and youhave beengivenbutlittle
knowledge.”
Afterthousandsormillionsof years,thatverse will be still valid
“‘youhave beengivenbutlittle knowledge.”
3. regardlessof the expectedhugeprogressinscience andknowledge.
Qur’an5:48
To you,We have revealedthisBookwiththe truth.Itconfirmswhateverhasremainedintactinthe
scriptureswhichcame before it andalsoto safeguardit.Therefore,judgebetweenpeople accordingto
Allah'srevelationsanddonotyieldtotheirvaindesiresdivergingfromthe truthwhichhascome to you.
We have ordainedalawand a Way of life foreachof you. If Allahwanted,He couldhave made all of you
a single nation.ButHe willedotherwiseinorderto test you in what He has givenyou; therefore tryto
excel one anotheringooddeeds.Ultimatelyyouall shall returntoAllah; thenHe will show you the
truth of those matters in whichyou dispute.
Qur’an22:69
Allah will judge betweenyouon the Day ofResurrectionconcerning the matters inwhich you differ
Verse 6:165 teachesthat:He is the One Who has made youthe inheritorsof the earthand raisedsome
of youinranks overothersso that He may test you inwhat He has givenyou. SurelyGodis swiftin
retribution;yetHe isalsoveryForgiving,Merciful.
Those whocan see the miraclesineverythingaroundthemandintheirowncreationthendenythe
existence of God,those mustbe mistaken.
God has sentprophetstonotifypeople thathe hascreatedandfine-tunedeverythingforthemlike the
fatherwhopreparesgoodenvironmentforhischildrentolive.
There are manyversesinJudaism,Christianity,andIslamtoteachthat God has createdeverythingin

afterlife.
