Is it not more befitting that God give us the choice of whether to be created or not to be created, and that we choose to be a human or another creature, so that freedom of choice may be complete?

The questioner must abandon his whispers and know the difference between the station of divinity and servitude. Allah is capable; He does what He wills and is not questioned about what He does. The servant must recognize his own weakness and ignorance and thank Allah for His blessings upon him, for man was nothing mentionable before his creation. Just as man has free will and choice in faith and disbelief, this will is subservient to the will of Allah. It is advised to contemplate Allah's blessings, perform good deeds, and avoid whispers and doubts.
