What is the purpose of creating humans, and why did Allah Almighty create creation when He knew what they would become in terms of corruption and killing, and He knows the path of every human being?
The Muslim nation is a moderate nation. Our religion does not forbid seeking understanding and asking about what is unclear, for Allah Almighty says: "So ask the people of the message if you do not know," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Why did they not ask if they did not know? Indeed, the cure for ignorance is inquiry." Nevertheless, our minds are limited, and we have been given but little knowledge. Man is indeed unjust, ignorant, and hasty, so he must acknowledge the limits of his intellect, and that Allah knows while we do not. Therefore, man cannot encompass Allah's wisdom in His decree, destiny, creation, and command. He must submit to Allah's law and yield to His command, and accept what has been established by the infallible revelation. For Allah creates what He wills and chooses, and "He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned," and "And Allah judges; there is no one to overturn His judgment." So His judgment is free from flaw or deficiency, and it is based on fairness and justice.
