Humans are absolutely free to believe or disbelieve in God, and it is God's will that we choose freely.1
Predestination is a fact from God's point of view but not from ours, since we remain totally free to side with God's absolute authority or with Satan's polytheistic views.1
In this life, without memory of the heavenly feud, humans and jinns receive messages from God and from Satan and freely choose, and that choice decides redemption or permanent exile with Satan.1, 2
The dispute in the Heavenly Community proves that God's creatures have freedom of choice, and that freedom is God's gift to His creatures.1, 2
God misleads only the wicked, those who have already decided they want nothing to do with God, so the person's decision comes first.1, 2, 3, 4
Hypocrites and disbelievers stay outside God's circle as long as they remain so, but as soon as they decide to believe they step into God's kingdom.1, 2, 3
Anyone is free to doubt or question God or be an atheist; he himself was an idol worshiper for a long time but never doubted God.1, 2, 3
God guides those who believe because of their belief, so once we decide to believe in God, He creates circumstances that lead us out of darkness into the light.1, 2, 3
God's laws are given for our happiness: following them brings a happy life and disregarding them brings a miserable one.1, 2, 3
God's creatures have freedom of choice and can say no, yet everything ultimately happens in accordance with God's will.1, 2, 3, 4
When Satan says God willed him to go astray, he is blaming God and claiming God could have made him obedient, though God gave him the freedom to choose and never inflicts an atom's worth of injustice.1, 2, 3
Human beings are the only ones in the universe that have a choice, so choosing to glorify God of our own free will is a great achievement.1, 2
God controls everything, including people's hearts and minds; the one thing we truly control is whether we choose to worship God.1, 2, 3
God puts no one in Hell; those who fail to prepare themselves go to Hell on their own volition, like bugs working hard to get into a light fixture to die.1, 2, 3
Two important laws govern life: nothing happens except in accordance with God's will, and nothing happens to you except as a consequence of something you have done.1, 2, 3
We come into this world unaware of the incident in the high society and receive two messages: God alone from God, and God plus others from Satan.1, 2, 3
God gives guidance, but it is up to humans whether to follow it.1
Whatever a person wills is in accordance with the will of God, Lord of the universe.1
Your jinn companion places bad thoughts in your mind, and it is your job to sift through and counter them.1, 2, 3
Believers receive small pinches when they do wrong, and as long as a person sincerely searches for God, God protects him until he decides to remain in or step out of that protection.1, 2, 3
The deviators deviate because they have chosen to follow Satan instead of submitting to God alone, and they will meet the consequence of hell.1, 2, 3
God wants us to be saved and pass the test, but the test requires that He not interfere, and people insist on going to hell.1, 2, 3
Hell is reserved only for those who go out of their way to reject God, and they go there by their own choice despite all of God's warnings.1, 2, 3
Worship done only because one's father said so earns no credit; credit comes from reaching the decision through one's own conscious conviction.1, 2
On the Day of Judgment Satan disowns his followers, saying he had no power over them but only invited them, so they must blame themselves.1, 2, 3
Adam and Eve stayed in Paradise as long as they obeyed God's command to avoid the tree, and were expelled once they listened to Satan.1, 2, 3
God created the human race with absolute freedom of choice as a perfect test proving Satan is an incompetent god, and those who agree that God alone is not enough become Satan's constituents.1, 2, 3, 4
God never inflicts an atom's weight of injustice; asking why God did this to us is invalid, because every one of us chose freedom of choice over submission.1, 2, 3, 4
We are absolutely free to side with God or Satan, though God knows precisely what we will decide and the record of our life from birth to death is already made.1, 2, 3
Unlike the first garment given to Adam without consulting him, the garment of righteousness must be acquired by free choice.1, 2, 3
Every soul is trapped by its sins, and the more a person sins, the more trapped he becomes and the harder it is to get out.1, 2
