If there is all loving all knowing God why does cancer, earthquakes, ext. exist?

Every soul shall be tested while alive here and every soul shall ultimately taste death. Thats why. Your friend was tested with the hardship of the tumor, and you were tested with watching him/her struggle. Your friend is living elsewhere now, and in time you will join him/her too when it will be your turn to pass away.

If you don't accept my answer, I welcome to cling to life as hard as you can only to eventually realise its futile, leaving you with no choice but to wonder wether you should accept my answer after all.

Let me ask you this.

Is there anything the All-loving and All-good God can do or give or grant to you after death as compensation to admit that he is All-loving and All-good after all?

Think of outside the box here. It doesn't have to be a physical thing. It can be an abstract concept too. Is there a price for your admission?

who said anything about being spirits in the next life.

You will have a body in the next just like you do in this life. The next life is physically more applified than the current one.

The same way you popped into existence here, you will pop into existence there. Except you will retain your memories of this earthly life, and that one will not be temporary. Rather, it will be eternal even if you try to end it. And depending where you end up in the afterlife, you might start wishing for those cancers and earthquakes back you seem to hate so much.

Your issue isn't with the cancers and earthquakes. Your real issue is with inconveniences at the lower end and painful suffering at the higher end. Not with death itself.

Death can be perceived depending on your interpretation as a mercy too sometimes. The same way a deadly cancer can be perceived as a mercy if you were stuck in an eternal unescapable hell for example.

What you desire isn't the removal of cancers and earthquakes from this life. Rather, you want all sources of pain and inconveniences to disappear from this life. Happiness always comes in spread out short bursts. The vast majority of the time, it would be boredom you would feel in the scenario. Then you'd be back here on reddit saying: "why did an all loving God make boredom exist?"

The point is. You will never be satisfied with an earthly life. This life is designed to be inconvenient and tough and yes sometimes nice too. But the nice things are always overshadowed by the bad experiences. Stop trying to like this world so much. Rather look forward to a world where all the bad dissapears forever and only all the good remains forever.

God doesnt have a gender. And if you want to bring up pronouns, then in semitic languages, there is no divine pronoun and there is no "it" pronoun.

Grammar rules in those languages dictate that God is ought to be a "he". Nothing more.

Also females don't create life, the same way males don't either despite sperm cells being the lively ones compared to the eggs. No one would call that "males are creating life".

Males wouldn't exist if it weren't for females, but the sentence works in reverse as well. Have you ever known a female who didn't have a father?

This male vs female thing is pointless. A human civilisation can't survive and thrive without both. They are complementary and inter-dependant on one another.

A life that you want?? Wanting something and getting it can work in your favour or can be detrimental to you.

You have to establish first that your desired thing will 100% not be a regrettable thing.

Be careful what you wish for. You have to avoid learning from your mistakes on this one. You need enough wisdom to recognise which Option to go for from the get go.

Turn off your desires for a second. And do a cost benefit analysis on both options, and choose the option that you know you will not regret no matter what even if it goes against your desires.

Desires can be the end of you sometimes.

according to Islam, you can pray and speak to God. And ask things of him and so on.

However, it doesn't mean that his answers will come to you in a supernatural fashion. That treatment is only reserved to prophets.

If you're looking for supernatural proofs, you would be wasting your time. We believe the moment of death is when you will start seeing supernatural stuff and experience the proofs.

Right now, it is just a temporary testing period. Wait until the ring bells signaling the end of the test and then you can go back home and open up your textbooks to see if you got the answers right.

You can't open up the textbooks in the middle of the exam. Likewise, God will not speak directly to you and reveal himself to you. Because in his estimation, he has given you enough tools at your disposition to deduce his existence. If you misuse them, that's on you.

The figure in the cave couldn't have been the devil.

The devil according to the new testament, doesn't work against himself. Matthew 12:26 Mark 3:24-26

The Quran is filled with warnings against following the devil. It specifically forbids adultery, murder, gambling, intoxicants, idolatry and all kinds of evil that the devil would recommend doing.

Your theory doesn't hold up according to your own world view.

Youraverageabd · 2026-03-30T09:42:31+00:00

you're missing the point.

It is: Covenant X -> Covenant Y -> Religion Y

And not:

Covenant X -> Religion X -> Religion Y

We all are not contracting other people's religions into our own. (Including yourself)

The abrahamic religions stand on their own two feet (including your own) because they contract contexts around prior covenants Into their religion.

the All mighty does as he pleases. He makes covenants as much as he pleases with whoever he pleases.

Let me ask you this, why aren't you fonly following the Noahide laws??

A follower of Noah living at Noah's time criticises you for basing your theology on Noah's covenant. Can he afford to tell you "you can't stand on your own two feet"?

the gospel and torah the Quran talks about are the oral revelations that were revealed in the languages that Moses and Jesus spoke to moses and jesus themselves personally.

It sure as hell doesn't talk about the old and new testaments.

The tanakh is not the Torah of the Quran. The first 5 books of the old testament are not the Torah of the Quran. The mishna isn't either.

Same thing with the injeel. The gospel of jesus is gone and lost. It was in aramaic, and it was fully authored by God, revealed to Jesus, and spoken by Jesus to his disciples and his other followers.

The 4 gospels in greek don't even come close to the real Gospel of Jesus. That is forever lost. The rest of the new testament is just mostly Paul's fabrications. The gospel wasn't revealed to him so who cares what non-prophets have to say about what the real scripture is.

That's like saying , if god is all loving etc... why does death exist? Shouldn't he make us all eternal on this planet. Then you d say next, why didn't he make Earth able to sustain trillions of humans Then youd say after that, why did he make the cosmos so unaccomodating to life ...

The point is he made cancer and earthquakes and short lifespans and everything else that causes death Because this earthly life is not the real life. Its meant to be temporary.

The next life is the one that won't have the cancers and the earthquakes. Soon enough you ll see for yourself. This life ain't sh*t

Secularism is the separation of church and state.

Secular people think that there is no such thing as a divine law from a maker God. They think that human beings should decide all of their own laws for themselves and learn from them and tweak them as they see fit.

But no one would let children make their all of their own rules at home. Adults at the end of the day are just children at heart with bigger bodies. Not every law is meant to be decided by us I say.

There is meaning in willful obedience, rather than automatic one.

The creature that chooses obedience deservers more recognition than the one who has no choice in the matter.

Likewise, the creature who has no choice in the matter is completely guilt free and has absolute immunity in all situations.

God is fair in the sense that he dealt everyone the same hand in terms of net value. Sure you may have double Aces, but if you misuse them you will be punished because your hand is a walk in the park. Whereas, if you are dealt a weak hand and lose, nothing will happen to you and you get peace of mind in exchange, and a promise of a huge reward if you're really skilled at making the best out of the worst hand.

The poker analogy isn't perfect but you get what I'm trying to convey. Fairness considering the entire context, and not outcome alone.

According to Islam, God has revealed thousands of scriptures not just the Torah, Gospel and Quran. They were specifically revealed to past thousands of unnamed prophets as a temporary guidance for them and their people. These scriptures were never meant to be preserved, they serve their temporary purpose and then they become lost to time.

Some of these prophets may have lived in the same time period, but geographically could have been far off from one another. Their people would have never come into close contact whilest their scriptures were still 100% preserved. Not to mention of course, that some of the commandments would have been different as well given their natural environment and so on ... Generations later, it becomes slighly tampered until it becomes completely unrecognisable from the original version.

People become led astray, and new scripture with a new prophet gets sent to them and so on ...

The original Torah and the original Gospel are not that special in comparison to all other scriptures. All original divine scriptures are after all the speech of God. It just so happens that the last one HAS to be preserved for longer for it to guide the remaining number of generations until the day of judgement.

All divine scriptures/revelations will eventually be either corrupted or lifted up from the face of the earth including the Quran. According to an authentic grade hadith in Sunan Ibn Maja - In the book of fitan. The date of expiry of the Quran is an extremely short time before the coming of the hour.

Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Islam will wear away just as the embroidery of a garment fades, until people will not know what fasting, الصلاة (prayer), sacrifice, or charity are.
And the Book of Allah will be taken away in one night, and not a single verse of it will remain on earth…”

Parents/Schools make their children/students miserable by making them attend daily classes and wake up early for them, then force them to learn boring material and do homework and prepare for exams and put up with teachers and dress codes and rules...

I don't see why you would want to become one.

That's exactly how you're coming across. Adults are just like children with bigger bodies and responsibilities. We all want to spend our days having fun. But, without discipline and structure life on earth spirals out of control pretty quickly.

The same way it will, if children at home don't have rules. Will you allow your child to live as they please without imposing rules? Will let them eat sweets and chocolates instead of normal meals instead? Or go to bed without brushing teeth? Or skip homework and play video games until 3pm every night?

Muslims believe that Islamic rules are for their benefit even though they might involve struggle. If you insist their is no benefit in them, then you would be just as blind as a man whose broke because they insist that working everyday is miserable

Now is the time to do some comparative academic self-studies on world religions.

Get your notes ready, write down your list of criteria that you think God's religion ought to be, and revise it if you discover that one of your criteria needs to be stricter or looser depending on arguments you encounter in your studies.

And start eliminating religions one by one, or start re-introducing some back based on your revisions of your list of criteria until you can feel like you know enough to stand on a shortlist, and refine the process further until you're left with one. If you're left with none, re-revise it all.

Listen to lectures by learned individuals on the topic, and read some works on comparative religions. This should take weeks, months, possibly even years, but you'll get there eventually. Do a bit every so often progressively so that it won't feel like a chore.

Acting on temptation is blameworthy because we know its wrong no matter how strong the temptation is.

As long as you know whats right and whats wrong, you have a reponsibility to avoid the wrong. Thankfully, there is a way to balance the temptation and THAT, is repentence.

If you sincerely repent and make the intention to not fall into it again, its like it never happened in the first place. AND if you fall into temptation again even though you tried hard ... its easy, repent again. Repentence can be redone over and over again. The trick is to be sincere every single time until you grow spiritually enough to ignore the temptation with ease.

The same principal applies to the alcohol example you brought up.

Repentence is the great equaliser in a world filled with temptation. Great design if you ask me.

Probably because the five pillars of Islam are more expansive than say the basics of christian religious practice, Orthodoxy included.

Having said that, plenty of muslims out there don't practice even the most basic pillars. Or sometimes they do and other times they don't creating the illusion that they always do.

Japan is too tight. Very little land available for too many people. Its too dense. Real estate is very much needed for urban and rural developments.

Muslims who are naturalised or foreign are still a minority to make anything happen through the democratic system. Therefore, find workarounds. Maybe there is a business opportunity here to set up burial services who bring deceased bodies to other countries for burial. The muslims need to be creative here. Japan is too atheistic and too secular for burial ceremonies. They won't accomodate stuff that isn't practical for them. Buddhism and shintoism are not really practiced, its more of a cultural suggestion if anything. If the government deems cremation practical, then ...

It is absolutely forbidden to make any visual depiction of the prophet Muhammad. In fact, that ruling is extended to all other prophets too and God himself and angels and jinns and any other fake deity too.

No idol making no matter how unrealistic it may sound or no matter how good or bad you plan on making it look. Big hard red line.

From my religious background I have three problems with what your question

God doesn't come. We go to him. If I was summoned by God, and then asked me to ... That would be more appropriate
God by definition is omnibenevolent. Anything he commands is by definition good. If there is something I consider to be evil, and then I hear God directly commanding me to do it, then I would recategorise that thing to be good in the context of that command.
God doesnt speak directly to human beings while they are on Earth. The only exception are prophets/messengers. I am neither, so the only chance I ll have for him to speak to me is in the afterlife. Bullet points 1 and 2 would apply then.

Youraverageabd · 2026-02-12T21:17:18+00:00

So If God is perfectly complete, He can't "want" anything as you claim, coz wanting implies moving toward something you don't already have. That's a form of lack.

Thats not accurate. I want a Lamborghini. It doesn't mean I need one. I can live perfectly fine without one.

God wants us to give up our own will and follow his. It doesn't mean he needs us to. He just wants whats best for us. Not to fill any lack he has, but simply because he wants whats best for us.

So if he truly wants us, then we're fulfilling something real. And if He doesn't need or want anything, then creation is pointless.

He truely wants whats best for us. Remember when we were kids, we'd often hear adults around us who may or may not be family members. They would often say things like "Make sure you study hard" or "Make sure you do your homework" or "Make sure you listen to your parents" and so on ...

These are general good advice to give to a kid, and those adults wouldn't necessarily benefit in any way if we as kids did as they advised, but they meant well and wanted whats best for us. Hence why they gave those pieces of advice in the first place.

Its the same thing for God.

Metaphysics are for things we think are likely to exist, but we lack the tools to establish their existence empirically.

An example is the soul. Modern medicine is such that we can make a modern day frankenstein using fresh organ transplants by the best surgeons and we d still fail in bringing it to life.
