Christian/Muslim ThreadsWhy where we (humans) created?The question is too narrow. Why did our Rabb create ? He ceated everything for a pupose according to his divine law and wisdom that we cannot grasp. Our Rabb created the human race for the same reason he created the Angels, Jinns, and all creatures but to worship and serve him. Each have a duty and purpose in existence.
It is his Law. All creatures have to go through birth, life and death, afterlife. Heaven and Hell is the reward for the more favored creatures Men and Jinn whom were gifted with limited free will. He intrusted us with this ability and he will try us with these gifts to demonstrate who is worthy, and grateful. With these gifts came responsability and duty in serving our pupose. He also created us as a manifestation of his power and wisdom the like of all creation. Look at how you are created and see the wisdom, and the architecture behind every part of your body and be amazed at its purpose that it was given. The same is with us all, we have a purpose. It is all for trial, for the rich and poor, and to show who is grateful and ungrateful. Human life must have balance in its purpose. The rich cannot be rich unless there is poor, and the poor cannot be poor unless there is the rich. Think of the elements of creation, there is balance. Fire and Ice, Water and Air, positive and negative, death and life, heaven and hell. Everything has its oposite in arabic "azwaj". It is the law our Rabb has made for all his creation. Mankind is part of his creation and thus subject to his laws. Before Adam was created Allah said to the angels "Innee Jaa'ilun feel'ardhi khaleefah " meaning " Verily I am going to place into the Earth a successor.....". Man was destined by the will of Allah to be here one Earth and not in paradise at that time. The angels said "ataj'alu feehaa mayyufsidu feehaa wa yasfikud-dimaa,a wa nahnu nusabbihu bihamdika wa nuqaddisu lak" meaning " ....will you place therein one whom will cause mischief therein and shed blood while we glorify you with praises and we sanctify you... ? " The angels themselves did not know the purpose of the Khalifah that Allah was going to put into the Earth in which Allah replies to the Angels curiosity " innee a'alamu maa laa ta'alamoon " meaning "..Verily I know what you do not know" We gather many things from these verses from the Quran as to how man came to Earth. 1) It was destined for man to come to earth regardless if he did not approach the tree in which he was commanded not to go near. 2) Man is the successor of another being that dwelt here on Earth that was a mischief maker and blood shedder in which the Angels assumed the Khalifah whould do the same thing being that he would succeed them. The word Khalifah also means "Ruler" or "Vicegerent". Thus man became the succeeding Rulers and Vicegerents of the Earth of those before them. If man was destined to come to Earth then why was Adam placed into Paradise before coming to Earth ? Thess questions should also be asked "Did not Allah know that Ibliss the cursed Devil was going to trick Adam to violate the Command ? Did not Allah see the whole thing happening ? So why didnt Allah intervene ? Adam going to paradise first before coming to the Earth as it was decreed for him, was to test Adam. Allah allowing the devil to do what he did was all apart of what Allah had planned so that Adam would become aware of his free will. What other way to understand free will and to disobey other than to experience it ? However Allah makes it clear that Adam made a mistake, a blunder where as he had forgotten the command and allow the Shaytaan to influence him. Thus, at this time the test was over, all came to the fullfilment of Allah's plan, Adam and his wife was forgiven, now Man is to go to his real home for a time to take on another trial with his new founded abilities. Jameel I became lengthy on this topic cause your questions reflect Biblical concepts of the fall of Adam that is not taught in the Quran and is apposed to. Christians believe Jannah (Paradise) as they call the garden of Eden was here on Earth and that Adam's sin cause him to be expelled from it in which mankind are inheriters of that sin until they except Jesus as Lord. Muslims believe Jannah (Paradise) or The Garden of Eden as the people of the Book call it, was not on Earth but in a higher place of existence beyond and above our Earth and Universe. Man coming to Earth was something decreed for him and his mistake was not the cause of it in which he was fogiven for and that was the end of that sin. Man continues to be responsable for his own sins and not the inheriters of the faults of those beofore us. |
