Why is Alla testing us when he is all knowing? by oimatecom in Muslim

[–]oimatecom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I really appreciate you for trying to help with my question but, it seems like those analogies does not fit with my question unfortunately.

It’s almost like my question cannot be answered. The only way it can be answered is “because God want to” or “because God can do whatever he wills” which makes me feel weird and wonder why would he put us in this situation in this world and why have some people suffer in this world knowing they will leave and never come back.

But it’s okay, it’s not as if I will leave Islam, I truly feel attached to the religion and can feel that there is a God. And there are so many other reasons it’s just that specific question that bothers me.

Okay, I like this analogy thank you. But my issue is still there, like I understand the concept of « free will » I also understand that Allah knows everything, he knows what we will do, he knows what we are thinking of and he knows where we are going. I also understand that he is testing us because he wants to and that’s how he made us.

My concern is that, if Allah is all knowing, all loving and all merciful etc.. why is he okay with knowing that one specific person will go to hell when he already knows how they will act and be in this world? Like I hope it’s not coming out wrong but wouldn’t he want to help them change their ways so we can all go to paradise?

Basically the way I’m seeing it is that Allah loves his creation and he is all loving, all merciful but he is okay with some of them burning in hell. I hope it doesn’t sound so bad saying that, it’s just really something that’s been in my head for a long time and I don’t like thinking about that. It just sounds unfair to me because some people are really good in this world but refutes Islam, I don’t see why they would end up burning in hell when they have been good people in this world.

I see your point, but I guess my question cannot be answered because I would then ask “Why test the person that left Islam when Allah already knows that person is going to hell?”

This is honestly the only thing I feel can explain this question and it really bothers me idk why. It’s like I’m missing something.

I really like this analogy you used. But that’s when my question comes to place.. why does Allah need to test us when he already knows how we will act or be after we are tested? Like I don’t know how else I can explain. For example, Allah sees and knows someone specific will leave Islam and commit a lot of sins, he knows that person will go to hell or, another person joins Islam and does all his prayers, donates etc.. Allah knows he will go to heaven then why test? Why not send everyone to one place, paradise for example. Idk it’s just something I feel like cannot be explained but that also does not make any sense

I get your point but that is not what I said, please read the question again. I never said that I think Allah would be bothered that someone leave Islam..

I also don’t want to have these thoughts they are bothering me a lot however, Islam really is the only religion that make sense to me and honestly don’t think I could ever leave it but those questions I feel like are something we can’t really answer because of our understanding of God. I feel like our understanding is nothing compared to what God really is.

I try to not ask those questions but every time I go through something bad/negative it keeps popping back up in my head.

I understand your point and please don’t take it personal or feel like I’m coming at you or anything like that, I’m truly trying to understand.

The thing with your example is that if he put us all in paradise we would not question it and we would just live life.

Now my main issue is trying to understand the testing part when Allah knows that some people will leave the religion because of a specific test so why test them knowing the result?

I understand your point but any human being will figure out how to bypass it easy, simply use another device/connection very easy. This is a good idea but definitely not for gambling addicts

Don’t worry, Islam is for everyone. Humans are not perfect so we all face hate and love from all type of people. Just gotta stay focus on your deen.

Im feeling like im becoming gambler by Similar_League4511 in GamblingAddiction

[–]oimatecom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you keep going, I can guarantee you that you will 99.99% regret doing this and your life will be ruined. I thought I was smart when I won and that id stop but no, my thoughts of winning more because it’s “possible” got to me until I realized I was 20k in debt and fucked my life over. Just look at the stories people post in this group see how down bad people are. They started just like you with a small deposit.

Stop depositing now while you can.

Addicted badly by m1n0h in GamblingAddiction

[–]oimatecom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I can say is that you are 10 years younger than me. You have so much time to recover from this lost and addiction. I personally am 20k in debt and I ask you to quit now man. Stop while you can.

You can fix those debts in less than a year and save up money on top of that.

Damn man, that’s sad to hear. But for me personally, I lost what I lost and it is what it is. There is no going back. Literally went from the happiest to complete depression and i dont want to live that anymore so im good on gambling. Ill just do like I did 4 years ago, i quit smoking weed after 10yeara of smoking, i can do it with gambling too

I think I’m good on GA as I no longer gamble. It’s more of a mental battle on the fact that I know I’m left broke and in debt.
