Re: “All knowing”
You said one who chooses, is the one responsible then whether he selects a silver coin or the paper currency or whatever, the outcome will be the same as that will be decided by Allah no matter what that kid selects. Then why give him 2 choices to begin with if the result will be same in both cases. Just to make him feel good that you got a choice. How can he choose , do you think he is actually choosing when the result is all same in both cases? & how can he be held responsible for a choice when there wasn’t any choice to begin with . That was just an illusion.
Allah do put us in difficult situations, we don’t get into them all by ourselves.Sometimes we try & try but things don’t work our way, why ? because they are working the way Allah want them to be. Is it difficult for Allah to make things work our way , NO, not at all but still they are not working our way. If they work our way then it will disturb this whole cycle we are in, there will be a chain reaction if you look at a bigger picture.
There was this episode of criminal minds where a person put 2 or may be 3 friends in a hole where they were given a sledge hammer with the option of killing each other & the one who lives will get the way out if I recall that correctly. Don’t get me wrong but all I am saying is sometimes we don’t have options & we will do harmful & sinful things which we shouldn’t but considering the bad environment we were exposed to & how weak human beings are, we will do such a thing then why we are responsible for that? Why put us in such a situation? Why make us soo weak?
I don’t know why all this, just to fill up the places in heaven & hell?
I just want answers, I used to think that we have free will but my experience so far says that we don’t.
