Believers should not be swept along with the crowd as they were in the heavenly society, nor measure their worship against a world oblivious to God.1, 2, 3, 4
We are in this world because we failed to take a firm stand for God's absolute authority in the heavenly society, and we are here to denounce that and return to God.1, 2, 3
Humans were given a second chance in this world so that those who end up in Hell cannot claim they were not given another chance; all excuses are being nullified.1, 2, 3, 4
There were degrees of conviction at the time of Satan's blasphemy, from jinns who completely agreed with Satan, to most humans who were wishy washy, to some who were swept with the crowd.1, 2, 3
When Satan's blasphemy occurred billions of years ago, some of us were swept along with the crowd, God knew this, and so we deserved the chance to come here to be redeemed.1, 2, 3
Our job in this world is to redeem ourselves, and our rank on returning depends on how much we develop our souls.1, 2, 3
Adam existed before his clay body was created; God originally created Adam, every human, and every other creature, and all were well until the great feud.1, 2, 3
Before the great feud all creatures lived in God's kingdom and all was well; then Satan's idea split them, with the vast majority upholding God's absolute authority and a small minority siding with Satan.1, 2, 3, 4
God made Satan a dominion and constituents to expose his claim; those who agreed with Satan became his constituents and the earth became his dominion.1
The feud in the high society is a crucial event in the history of the universe, and the Quran calls it awesome news that people are unaware of.1, 2, 3
When the angels suggested putting all the rebels in hell, God said He knows what they do not know and gave the rebellious minority another chance to submit.1, 2, 3, 4
The whole purpose of our creation is to show the angels that we, without seeing God, will worship God alone without partners.1, 2, 3
When Satan blasphemed billions of years ago there were degrees of conviction among us; some were swept by the crowd and deserve a chance at redemption, and God grants them the true message.1, 2, 3
We are in this world because we committed a gross crime billions of years ago, and God, out of mercy, gave us a chance to redeem ourselves by denouncing idol worship.1, 2, 3, 4
Humans were created to work hard to redeem themselves from the ancient crime of not taking a firm stand with God's absolute authority.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
Humans are the most egotistic of God's creatures, and the ego is what exiles us from God's kingdom.1, 2, 3, 4
Humans are rebels banished from God's kingdom, this world is a halfway house, and its pleasures are like provisions given to prisoners of war, ridiculous compared to the Hereafter.1, 2, 3, 4
The whole idea of our existence is to show that God needs no partner, by worshiping God alone without idolizing Muhammad, Jesus, Mary, saints, or anyone.1, 2, 3
Satan, though incompetent as a god, is a master deceiver who has dedicated his existence to misleading as many people as possible and keeping them confused about the truth.1, 2, 3
We exist to worship God alone, because Satan wanted to be a god with God, and humans must prove that God can be worshiped alone without any prophet beside Him.1, 2, 3, 4
Humans are in this life because before creation they failed to take a firm stand for God when Satan claimed he could be a god, unlike the angels.1, 2, 3, 4
Out of His mercy and forgiveness God gave humans a second chance to redeem themselves instead of sending them straight to hell.1, 2, 3
Out of mercy God gave the creatures who sided with Satan a second chance, because He knew some of them truly believed in His absolute authority deep in their hearts.1, 2, 3
Satan was one of God's powerful creatures whose God given power went to his head, and out of ego he thought he could be a god besides God.1, 2, 3
The vast majority of God's creatures rejected Satan's claim, and those who upheld God's absolute authority were classified as angels.1, 2
We all existed in God's kingdom before this life and testified that God alone is our Lord, but we do not remember it, and one purpose of this life is a fresh start without memory of the past.1, 2, 3, 4
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
Satan causes disasters, first through his incompetence and second through deliberate harm against those who reject his view once they step out of God's protection.1, 2, 3, 4
Satan told the angels he could be God's assistant and rule part of the universe, some agreed with him, the high society was divided, and Satan and his supporters became jinns sent to earth.1, 2, 3, 4
The angels did not know Satan's idea that he could rule part of the universe, so as a mercy to them God exposed Satan's rebellion first rather than simply wiping him out.1, 2, 3
Because God is Most Merciful and knew some who sided with Satan truly believe in His absolute authority, He gave them a second chance to reconsider.1, 2, 3
Creatures who upheld God's absolute authority were classified as angels, while those who agreed with Satan, including us to different degrees, did not believe in God's absolute authority.1, 2, 3
We all existed in God's kingdom billions of years ago but have no recollection of it, and one purpose of this life is a fresh start without memory of the past.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
Because we are His creatures, God gave us another chance instead of sending us to hell, and He accepts the flimsiest excuses to redeem us.1, 2, 3, 4
Satan knows heaven and hell are already decided, and what he wants now is to prove to God that he was right that he could run a dominion.1, 2, 3
Satan thinking he could be a god besides God was not merely arrogance; he was simply wrong, because it was not possible.1, 2, 3
When we are resurrected we will know everything, including our original blasphemy and that we were sent to earth for more schooling.1, 2
Before this life God gathered all souls and they bore witness that He is their Lord; this knowledge is placed in us as an instinct.1, 2, 3
