| [slm] One christian asked me one question, that made me thinking, and I had to say that I don´t know the answer. We was talking about creation of Adam wa Huwa (Adam and Eve)(aleihiuma salaatu wa salaam) and when Iiblis told thot he would try to take every human whit him in Jahannam. The queston was, that why did Allah (subhaanahu wa taala) create shaitaan, if he knew that he was going to be neglijent to him and try to take every human being whit him in the hell? Why did God create something bad when he knows everything that is going to happend? Astaghfirullaa wa subhaanallaa. I hope that you understood my queston. [wlm] Sari |

| [slm] Know the following: Allah has not created a single thing in this universe which is 100% evil. If anything exists, it is created by Him, and since it is created by Him it is *not* 100% evil. There is good in it, that is why it exists. Some food for thought: If there was no Iblees ... - would anyone seek refuge in God? Refuge from whom? - would anyone seek forgiveness? Forgiveness from what? - would human beings commit sins? - would there be Hell? - would there be Heaven? - would anyone go to Hell? - would anyone go to Heaven? - would there be any evil in this world? - would there be any good in this world? If you had never experienced freezing cold weather, would you enjoy warmth? If you had never experienced thirst, would you appreciate water? Wassalam, Abu Hamza |

| [slm].... You can look at it 2 ways: Allah (SWT) created us humans with “free will” . So whether there is an Iblis or not, we still make our own decisions, bad or good. Iblis is just there to add to the fire (temptation). Iblis does not make us do what he whispers into our ears, we do that on our own “free will”. But in my opinion, one can not answer the question you ask because no one can predict a future when the future already exists. Your question does not exist therefore your answer doesn’t either. Only Allah (SWT) knows the "What if..." questions if they can't be predicted through experiments. Allah (SWT) bless.... Ma-assalaamah..... |

| If there is no examination there will be no promotion So if there is was no iblis we would not be rewarded when we pass that test of saying no to iblis and to be able to say NO we are given a BRAIN to use. As a result of this, then the promotion is from earth to paradise.There fore if the creation of IBLIS opens the door to gaining a paradise isn’t it good iblis is there ? If iblis was created with out creating a brain in human beings head to defend himself with his brain by ALLAH’s will that would be an excuse we could call unfair that is why animals do not know whether is there is IBLIS or not. MEANS they do not pass through this test and as long as they are not examined there will no promotion (paradise )for them Now... which is better ? To be a human being and gain the paradise through iblis ? Or to not face the challenge of iblis and be animal ? |
