MAN AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF TEST
Chapter 3
A Portion of Creation of Art and Wisdom in Man's Test
Preface:
Since we have understood the necessity of seeking and finding the nearness to His Almighty's Presence, in the Epistle of "Man and the Secrets of Nearness", it wouldn't be improper to find out well about the wisdom behind these testing sceneries, as why Mankind has been created in this world for the purpose of being tested. We should also clearly find out as what has been and what is the purpose of passing the period of life in this perishing world?
Because, this is an obvious truth, as whatever machinery man has built, he has known about it's work efficiency and power as well. Then, Great Allah also knows from the start of creation, the manner of thinking and the orientation that man would have voluntarily chosen. Where the Holy Qur'an refers to it in the following:
"There are some in Paradise, and some in the Hell." (Shura, 42:7Q)
The situation is clarified by the content of this auspicious verse. However, Man would have not confessed to this fact, if he was in that world from the beginning of creation. Man would have not been contented about the situation of his other righteous and pious brothers who were of his same spicy.
Therefore, Almighty Allah, in order to clarify,
"In order, for Almighty Allah to see with His All-Seeing Knowledge, the struggle and patience of the believers bound by the location and time." (Al-Imran, 3:142Q)
has brought, Adam Alaihay Salaam, and his progeny to here.
Consequently, He created this world of full of struggles and problems in such a way that on one hand, by seeing the completion period of four seasons and so forth his orientation may be stabilized, and on the other hand, by completing each individual's life's movie, he should be contented and would not ask for more.
Hereby, please focus on the matters of questions and answers related to this issue.
1. Have you noticed? In case if His Almighty Great Being, Owner of the Glory and Majesty has created human descendants in the Permanent and Eternal Abode, Almighty Allah having the quality of justice, then all of them should have been at equal levels, and would have lived and passed the life under an equal system by benefiting the enjoyments of food, drinks and clothes.
In such case, of course, the variety in creation and personalities of full capacity and high sincerity and hundreds of other secrets, all would have been kept waiting.
Since, under the umbrella of uniform living styles, the field of creating should have been alike.
In such situations, the Exhibition of His Almighty's Perfection in Artifice, Innovation, Initiation and other qualities would have been restricted.
2. Have you noticed? In a state of comfort and happiness, each individual human being by seeing all that Power, Greatness, Glory and Majesty of Him Almighty in the Eternal World, would have made himself a perfect and devoted sincere to Him Almighty.
Therefore, Almighty Allah has created these sceneries of involvement's, in order to distinguish the levels of the true devotees from the false and imitating claimants. He Almighty has put human beings in Test, in periods of times, under the effect of the Angelic Inspirations and Satanic Temptations. So that the devotees would be distinguish from the false claimants in the face of hardships.
3. Have you noticed? It was and is not really appropriate for such Great, Generous, All-Knowing and Eternal Almighty Lord that each worthy and unworthy person would set on Table-cloth of Nearness of His Almighty Compassionate and Beneficent Being.
And that they become the owner of receiving the Nearness to His Almighty Presence without the smallest proof of devotion and the perfect practical interest (attachment) in His Excellency Almighty Being.
4. Have you noticed? Therefore, this world of testing with all it's ups and downs of satanic temptations of Jinni and human Devils and other confusing media's have been created. The servant (Man) is released therein as like a rocket and he is given the option of determining his orientation while he is equipped with the discovering power of wisdom, the guidance of Untouched Qur'an of Islam, and the honorable majesties of Prophets, peace be upon them, and the dignitaries of Awliya (saints).
5. Have you noticed? The purpose of Man's creation in this passing world has not been only to complete the testing sceneries, however, it has been for observation of variety and kinds of His everlasting Power. So that Man may ponder as from insignificant things, all this variety and different kinds of living and non-living creatures are created, and that again enriched with different qualities, decorated with different colors and designed with different levels of development. Man may see them one after the other and therefrom to perceive the Perfection, Majesty, Greatness and the absolute Power of Him Almighty. Consequently, Man ought to acquire complete Insight into Him Almighty through this easy method and this unconditional worship.
6. Have you noticed? The more the truth about perception of this quality increases by observing things and Control of Him Almighty over all of them, the more it strengthens the first sign of Man's Nearness to Him Almighty. It does so, in such a way that the person will know by certainty of eye ('Any-ul-Yaqeen) that the Almighty Lord Who creates all this handiwork's and the variety of creatures out of the insignificant soil and other unworthy things, He Almighty has definitely created and creates thousands of times superior and better things out of the better material (Heavens).
7. Have you noticed? The other fact becomes certainly obvious to Man through the above mentioned Insight, that the Being who creates pleasant times in each year such as, six to eight months of spring, summer and fall and other accessions, He can keep these seasons continuous forever. Likewise, He Who keeps Man young and fresh for thirty to forty years, undoubtedly, He can keep it for billions of years.
8. Have you noticed? Man's coming into existence into these testing scenes (stages), finally his departure to the Eternal World, and his reception to the Meeting with Him Almighty which no eye has ever seen and no ear has ever heard, has many wisdom's behind.
9. Have you noticed? The first wisdom behind the observation of variety of favors, and the majesty freely given to Man over most of things in this world, is that Man should understand well that this Grace of Him Almighty Being has been granted to us emanating from the fountain of the Mercy (Al-Rahmanee).
Consequently, it is necessary that we make effort in attracting more of Him Almighty's Grace through the righteous deeds, so that we may prosper forever, the unlimited ocean of the Compassion (Al-Rahmanee) through these deeds.
This is the secret of the whole Glorious Qur'an which is contained in Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem (In the Name of Allah, The Merciful, The Compassionate).
10. Have you noticed? Man has been created not only in the test for being observed in making his decisions in the practical scenes by observing all these gifts in the oceans, on land, and in rest of the universe. However, the purpose has been for Man to orient himself and to get affection with the Almighty Creator or with the creatures. Meanwhile, he should outwardly understand the masteries of Him Almighty in the light of these which are for the proof of His Almighty Everlasting Beauty and Perfection. Therefore, one should strengthen his Light of Faith.
11. Have you noticed? The wisdom behind ours coming into existence and being exposed to the test is for obtaining more and better Graces of both Worlds, after accepting a bid of struggle against the Nafs and Shaitaan. So that we may become acceptable to the Presence of Him Almighty Being.
12. Have you noticed? The chance of finding wealth, power and other unnecessary masteries is like dropping some grains to birds or ants, or putting a piece of meat in front of wild animal. For, they think to have gotten it freely or by their own efforts which they were facing. In reality, however, someone had actually put or dropped it on their way and had given them a chance. Similarly, the capability for obtaining wealth, power, and knowledge is from Him Almighty for the purpose of we being tested.
13. Have you noticed? The creation of this being (Man) does not end up just for being tested, but there are unlimited amazing and perplexing wisdom behind seeing and observing variety of living and non-living creatures, and diverse signs in each season and period of time, and these being repeatedly coming in monotonous four seasons. As, what mysteries and secrets each of them possess. All of them, one after the other, are proving and showing the Perfection and Power of the Great Almighty Creator, Glory be to Him.

 "You are the best community that has been raised up
for mankind (by just this privilege that) you enjoin right
conduct and forbid indecency." (Al-Imran, 3:110Q)
- The believers believe that Glorious Allah is present and is
observing and watching our actions and deeds. Pay attention that
the thief, adulterer or the bribe taker and other similar
transgressors to the property and honor of people, do not
commit themselves to that unlawful action in the presence of a
child or a stranger, they are scared or feel ashamed.
- Muslims claim to love Glorious Allah more than anything else.
Whereas, for the sake of love of their wives, children and
corrupt sensual and egoistic desires, they struggle like the
worms in the dirt.
- Muslims claim to have fear of Almighty Allah. But, they do not seem
to have the one tenth or even one hundredth fear from Almighty
Allah as they have from the people of authority and power, in
case of occurrences as mentioned above.
Fortunately, the Epistles and the books of Madrasa-e-Towheed, which
are the extract of the explicit secrets of the Untouched Qur'an of
Islam, are undertaking, with the help of Almighty Evolver, of this
task to establish this wealth in the heart and brain, with His
Almighty's Grace and Generosity without any mortification.
