Given the argument for destiny for the creation, which God is expected to have the creation come to at the end, what can be another reasoning for God to be quiet when the life on this earth, is killed not directly by God, but by God's creation?
why God is not present? (God is present, but is not visible per se because of giving FULL power of free will, to strong people, who know no better than to exploit weaker life: case in point --> man made wars)
share serious and insightful, non judgemental ideas and perspectives on what must be going through God's mind, as God decides to just be an observer?

D**ushwari, I understand what drives you to start a thread like this, any sensitive human being not involved in collecting perks of the wars or for that matter not involved in reaping the benefits out of the miseries of other fellow human beings would think the same way, anyone who may believes that God is just and has no way of proving it would fail to apprehend the absence of justice for God’s own creation, but those with certitude have never questioned the omnipresence of God and never have a shade of doubt that justice will prevail, if not in this world then hereafter. However, to speak about it we will have to go back and try to understand a few basic things;
1) Man is the finite junction of an infinite past and an infinite future, the effect of an infinite series of causes, the cause of an infinite series of effects. My sins are not merely my sins but a result of series of actions that someone took prior to my existence, and whose effects will linger on after I cease to exist as an entity, an absolute justice to what I did in context to what lead me to do that is not conceivable according to our standards, thus hard to prevail or exist. But if an absolute justice has to prevail, and so it will be God’s intervention on every bad step that I am taking or I would take would be the injustice to the very notion of justice itself.
2) God’s knowledge is creative. We know because things are; things are because God knows them. I am slave to my senses to acquire knowledge, my intelligence stems out of matter which has its limitation of not going beyond the reason of its existence, I see what is conceivable to my sight and hear what is audible to my capability, with my intelligence I may discover tools that may enable me to look beyond my bare eyes, to hear what I couldn’t hear otherwise but my inability to change future will be consistent even if I somehow know future in advance for it will change, and change it must.
An absolute justice is beyond our sight, we are unaware whether or not it is happening right now, what seems unjust with limited mortal sight might be justice in advance for we are slave of what we can conceive.
3) The world in which we live, perceive things and all that it contains has a reality independent of what we perceive. The creation of this world is “will” of God, and without understanding will of God, we can hardly understand anything else. Will in human beings stems out from its needs, desires, my will to see equality in the world would stem out either from my weakness thus a desire to be at par with other or my will for the equality among human beings stems out from a perception of being equal among equal and thus my desire that equality should prevail. But can this process of will be same as in God. God being eternal shall not have a will arising out of a need for God is beyond any need, any desire then must it be only but only a necessity. May God’s will pick one from two contraries? If so, and if it is arising from an absolute necessity, would it pick a bad one?.

We will keep talking Inshallah.
