The question

Why did Allah create us in this world—which contains both injustice and justice—and test us? And why do we suffer and are tormented or blessed? What is the purpose of that, and why were we not given a choice in our creation?

The answer

A person becomes a puppet if they follow their whims and the whispers of devils, abandon revelation, and prioritize bodily comfort over seeking the truth. Submitting to God's wisdom, decree, and destiny is the epitome of reason. It is not logical to make the weak human intellect the arbiter of cosmic matters, or to thrust it into what it cannot bear. To delve deeper into this topic, it is recommended to read the book "The Answer: The Quran and Your Existential Questions," especially the chapter on Divine Justice and the existence of proof and punishment, from page 332 to page 349. Also, review fatwas numbered: 55575, 92695, 95917, 109252, 124242, 91195.
