This alleged dialogue between God and His creatures is from the unseen (ghayb) and is not mentioned in the Quran or ; it is among the contemplations of some individuals. It might be an accurate description for someone living without religion, but it is not correct for a Muslim who knows the purpose of their existence. Furthermore, it contradicts God's honoring of the Children of Adam, as stated in His Almighty قول: "And We have certainly honored the Children of Adam." The dialogue likens humans to donkeys during the age of 20-50, which is the period of intellectual maturity and the sending of prophets.
