I am new to Islam and still learning Inshallah. Your channel is a blessing to say the least! Thank you for everything you do! Allahu Akbar!

[@hassanmirza2392]

Very good explanation!

[@tysolbohan6446]

It's stupid on multiple levels if creating free will makes it so bad things happen why doesn't he design humans to be naturally reared towards worshiping him and naturally good ? and he's question begging if we have free will and we can make our own choices then why punish us at all ? I mean after all it's just humans expressing there free will hell would be impeding on there free will so why does god or allha burn people in hell ? if punishment is required for bad actions then it's question begging again for if eventually has to punish your sins why doesn't he punish them from the start ? why draw an arbitrary line onto death there is so many problems with Islamic theology that Hindu theology doesn't have. Hindus don't believe hell is a eternal punishment no where in the vedas the upanishads or the gitas is it ever implied hell is eternal rather it's finite and based on your sins 2nd we don't accept that god would be cruel enough to create a world where rape murder and torture where already in his fore knowledge in the vedentas evil happens due to karma in fact all evil is really divine cosmic justice re inflicted and we don't believe all paths lead to vishnu either so I mean on several aspects Islamic theology lacks any logical coherence if taken to it's logical conclusion then god becomes a monster

Where is the muslim scholar?

[@ukimenustah26]

why this stupid question even come up?!! 🤦

[@starsian]

This is the fundamental question that Christianity couldn't answer, resulting in many Christians losing their faith still to this day. Why do you think it's a stupid question?

[@Caravanseraii]

are you serious?ever seen the suffering in the world?Can you answer why God created free will??Why did God create a world of suffering if He is the Most Merciful??

[@Caravanseraii]

why did God create this Test?and if we were asked about whether we wanted to be tested in the pre-earth realm then why did God choose to give us this choice when He knew that our choice would lead to us suffering?This question cannot be explained away apologetically like this.It will come back and need to be answered in the end.(PS im a Muslim not a murtadd)

[@starsian]

@@Caravanseraii I believe this was already answered in the video. Angels/animals have no free will/choice, but humans do because of their God-given intellect (Adam was taught things that even the angels did not know, 2:31-33). By choosing to do good, humans can surpass even angels in goodness. But by choosing to do evil, they can go down to levels even lower than animals. Thus, God answers your question in the Qur'an: "to see who are the best amongst you in deeds." (67:2)

[@Caravanseraii]

@@starsian you are making it as if God is an evil scientist that made this system that this is a game of suffering and whoever survives the trial wins🤡
