What is the secret behind considering the creation of humankind from nothingness a blessing, even though not creating them might spare them from falling into sins and shortcomings, and the fear of a bad end?
Bringing humanity into existence from nothingness is a great blessing for several reasons:
1. Existence is better than non-existence: Non-existence is not a thing, and existence is undoubtedly better than it. 2. The purpose of creation: Creation aims for a great and noble goal, which is the worship of Allah, the goal upon which all blessings and virtues depend. 3. Creation encompassed by blessings: This creation is not merely the creation of something; rather, it is the creation of a human being who hears, sees, and possesses intellect. It is a creation accompanied by many blessings such as hearing, sight, and hearts, through which humans can worship their Lord.
Allah has bestowed favors upon His servants by creating them and granting them these senses. Allah Almighty says: ﴿And Allah brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you knew nothing, and He made for you hearing and vision and hearts, that perhaps you would be grateful.﴾ [An-Nahl: 78]. Added to these blessings are the blessing of guidance to the path of truth and happiness, the blessing of faith, and entering Paradise.
As for the annoyances and difficulties, they are part of fulfilling servitude to Allah, as a person strives against their self and perseveres. The blessings will be completed by entering Paradise through the mercy of Allah the Almighty. The disbeliever is the true loser because they disbelieve in Allah's tremendous blessings.
