WHY  WE  WERE  CREATED                       


  Before Genesis

It all began a few billion years ago when one of God's high-ranking creatures, Satan, developed a supercilious idea that he could run a dominion as an independent god besides God. This challenge to God'sabsolute authority was not only blasphemous, it was also erroneous. Satan was ignorant of the fact that God alone possesses the ability to be a god, and that there is much more to godhood than he realized. It was the ego - arrogance augmented by ignorance -  that led Satan to believe that he could take care of a dominion, as a god, and run it without disease, misery, war, accidents, and chaos. The vast majority of God's creatures disagreed with Satan. Yet, the minute egoistic minority that agreed with him in various extents were in the billions.

Thus, a profound dispute erupted within the Heavenly Community(38:69). The rebels' unjustifiable challenge to God's absolute authority was met and resolved in the most efficient manner. After
giving the rebels sufficient chances to denounce their crime and submit to Him, God decided to exile the hard core rebels on a spaceship called Earth, and give them yet another chance to redeem themselves.

If you claim that you can fly a plane, the best way to test your claim is to give you a plane and ask you to fly it. This is precisely what God decided to do in response to Satan's claim that he could be a god;
God appointed him a temporary god on the tiny speck Earth (2:30,36:60). As for those who agreed with Satan, they were given a chance to kill their egos and submit to God's absolute authority. While the
vast majority of the guilty creatures took advantage of this opportunity, a miniscule minority consisting of about 150 billion creatures failed to take advantage of this offer (33:72).
The dispute in the Heavenly Community led to the classification of God's creatures into different categories:



                        (1) The Angels
Creatures who never questioned God's absolute authority were classified as angels; they knew that God alone possesses the ability and qualifications to be a god. The vast majority of God's creatures -
countless numbers - belong in this category. The number of angels is so enormous, even the angels do not know how many of them there are; only God knows their number (74:31).



                      (2) The Animals

Although the angels suggested that the rebels and their leader should be exiled from God's kingdom (2:30), the Most Merciful willed to give the rebels a chance to denounce their crime, repent, and submit to His absolute authority (33:72). the vast majority of the rebels took advantage of God's gracious offer to re-enter His kingdom. They agreed to kill their egos, come to this world to perform a submissive role, as an expiation for their blasphemy. In return for their submissive role in this world, these creatures are redeemed back to God's eternal kingdom (6:38). The horse, the dog, the tree, the sun, the moon, the stars, as well as deformed and not-so-smart children are among the intelligent creatures who denounced their crime and repented:


[22:18]  Do you not realize that to GOD prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many people? Many others among the people are committed to doom. Whomever GOD shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance with GOD's will.

The stars and the trees prostrate.  (55:6)   



The horse has no ego. The horse's owner can be rich or poor, tall or short, fat or thin, young or old, and the horse will serve them all. The dog has no ego; it will wag its tail to its owner, no matter how
rich or poor the owner might be. The sun rises and sets every day at precisely the times prescribed by God. The moon follows its synchronized orbit around the earth, without the slightest deviation.
The human body - a temporary garment - belongs to the Earth; as such, it is a submitter. The heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs, perform their functions without our control.



                          (3) The Humans

The hard-core rebels - humans and jinns - refused to denounce their crime, and opted for witnessing a demonstration of Satan's claim. These egotistic creatures who failed to submit to God's absolute
authority, even when offered a chance to do so, were divided in half. The half that were less convinced of Satan's point of view became classified as humans. Although they harbored doubts about Satan's
claim, they failed to make a firm stand regarding God's absolute authority. It is the ego that prevented these creatures from appreciating God's omnipotence, it is the ego that prevented them from
submitting when such an opportunity was offered to them (33:72), and it is the ego that stands between most of us and redemption to God's kingdom (25:43). This is why "Kill your ego" is one of the first
commandments in the Quran (2:54).



                         (4) The Jinns

The other half of the guilty creatures, those who leaned closer to Satan's point of view and exhibited the biggest egos, became classified as jinns. It was God's plan to assign one jinn to every human being from birth to death. The jinn companion represents Satan and constantly promotes his point of view (50:23, 27). Both the jinns and the humans are given a precious chance in this world to re-educate themselves, denounce their egoism, and redeem themselves by submitting to God's absolute authority. Whenever a human being is born, a jinn is born and is assigned to the new human. We learn from the Quran that the jinns are Satan's descendants (7:27, 18:50). When a jinn being is born and assigned to a human being, the jinn remains a constant companion of the human until the human dies. The jinn is then freed, and lives on for a few centuries. Both humans and jinns are required to worship God alone (51:56).

                   

  God Does Not Want Robots

The dispute in the Heavenly Community as stated in 38:69 and described proves that God's creatures possess the freedom of choice; they have minds of their own. The rebellion of a miniscule minority
among God's creatures has served to emphasize the wonderful fact that God's creatures serve Him because they appreciate His infinite magnificence. Without the rebellion, we would have never known that freedom is God's gift to His creatures.



                    Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Even in our worldly dimension, any enterprise expects its employees to be loyal and devoted to the welfare of the enterprise. If an employee is not totally dedicated to the enterprise, or is shown to have divided loyalties, he is immediately dismissed. Since the humans and the jinns sided with Satan, then turned down God's offer to reconsider their rebellious acts, the angels expected Satan and his allies to be banished from God's kingdom (2:30). It was immense mercy from God that He granted us this additional chance to denounce our crime and redeem ourselves.

To carry out this exteremly merciful plan of redemption, God "created death" (67:1-2). The divine plan called for bringing the rebels into another existence, where they have no recollection of the heavenly
feud. Under the circumstances of this life, the humans and the jinns receive both God's messages and Satan's messages, then freely choose either side. Based on their freewill decision, they are either redeemed into God's kingdom, or become permanently exiled with Satan.

                   

   Satan's Temporary Dominion

To emphasize the utter insignificance of Satan's projected dominion, God created a billion galaxies, a billion trillion stars, within a vast universe that spans billions of light years. If we travel towards
the Sun (93,000,000 miles) at the speed of light, we will reach it in eight minutes. If we keep going, we will reach the border of our Milky Way Galaxy after 50-70,000 years at the speed of light. To reach the
nearest galaxy, it will take us 2,000,000 years at the speed of light, and there are at least 2,000,000,000 galaxies in "our universe." With the most powerful telescopes, the earth is utterly invisible from the
edge of our own galaxy, let alone from the edge of our universe. As if our universe were not vast enough, God created six more, even larger universes surrounding our universe (2:29, 67:3). God then informed Satan that a tiny mote within the smallest and innermost universe, the planet Earth, shall be his dominion. God's plan called for placing the humans and jinns in a universe that cannot stand His physical presence (7:143). Thus, Satan rules his minute kingdom far from the physical presence of God, though with God's full knowledge and control. It should also be noted that the number of rebels who repented was so vast, that the planet earth could not possibly accommodate all of them.

As it is, the animals vastly outnumber the humans on this planet. It would take an unmanagable earth to accommodate all the repentant rebels. Hence the placement of uncountable decillions of creatures in outer space.



                          Adam and Eve

The body of the first human being was shaped on earth by God's angels, in accordance with God's instructions (7:11). God then assigned the first person, Adam, to that body. When God informed the angels that they will be serving the humans throughout the test period – guarding them, driving the winds, distributing the rain and provisions, etc. - Satan was the only one who refused to "fall prostrate" (2:34, 15:31,38:74). Adam's mate was cloned, with feminine features, from Adam, and God assigned the second human being to her body. While the empty (soulless) bodies of Adam and Eve remained here on earth, their souls, the real persons, resided in Heaven. Adam and Eve remained in Heaven for as long as they upheld God's commandments. Once they listened to Satan instead, they reflected a flawed human nature in all of us, and they immediately belonged to Satan's dominion down on Earth - "their bodies became visible to them" (7:20, 20:121). The rest is history.

                 

Satan: Father of All the Jinns

Putting the jinns and the humans to the test stipulated that Satan shall reproduce whenever a human being is born. As mentioned above, every time a human being is born, a jinn being is born to serve as a
constant companion of the human person. Every human being is subjected to the incessant persuasions of Satan's representative who lives in the same body from birth to death. Satan's representative tries to
convince the human companion of Satan's point of view: that God alone is not enough. On the Day of Judgment, the jinn companion serves as a witness against the human counterpart (43:38; 50:23, 27). Many jinn companions are converted to God's point of view by the human companions.


God did not leave the human being without preparation. To help the humans in their final chance to reconsider their blasphemy, every person is born with instinctive knowledge that[b] God ALONE[/b], and no one else, is our Lord and Master (7:172-173). The jinns were not given this instinctive knowledge, but they are given a much longer life span and greater abilities to study God's signs throughout the innermost universe. Since they represent Satan's point of view, their instinctive nature leans strongly in favor of polytheism. In addition to our built-in instinct to worship God alone, God sent messengers to
help us redeem ourselves. With all these elements in view, we can appreciate the fact that the only unforgivable offense (if maintained until death) is idol worship: believing that anyone besides God
possesses any power.


This  is  the  truth  from GOD  that  peoeple continue to conjecture about. GOD is  all  wise  and all  knowing. HE  does  not  want  to  create  robots, and  thats  why  HE  gave  us  freedom of  choice. GOD  Knew  that  SATAN  would  develop  such  a  superlicilious  thought, so  GOD  let  that  happen  so  HE  can  set-up  SATAN  as an  EXAMPLE  to  all  who  decide  to abuse  their  freedom  of  choice  and  GOD given  powers(as in the case  of  SATAN).

People  fail  to  understand  that  the  test  we  are  facing  today  is  no  different  from  that  given   to  our  Fathers, Adam  and  Eve.  The  test  for  them  was, that  they  should  not  feed  from  a certain  tree. The  truth is, it  was  not  about  the tree in itself, as  it was just  a  plain,  ordinary  tree  with  no  special  benefits  whatsoever. But, it was a test  of  SUBMISSION  to  GODs  absolute  authority. They  failed  the  test  by  listening  to  SATAN  when  he  deceived  them  to  feed from the  tree  thereof, as they  were  told  it  has  special  benefits. Consequently, that  constitutes  disobedience  to  GODs absolute  authority, and  even  worse, they  commit  to  idolatry(they  beleived  SATAN  istead  of  GOD).

It  is  unfortunate  that  virtually  all  of  mankind  has  fallen  victims  of  SATANs  schemes. GOD  sends  messengers   and  scriptures  so  we  may  know  HIM  better  and  devote  our  lives  to  worshipping  HIM  ALONE. But  the  humans  thought  it  better  to  idolize  these  powerless  creatures(jesus,  muhammad, mary  etc)  istead  of  following  the  messages they brought. It  is  not  about  you  been a  muslim ,christian, jew, Hindu, Seekh, Bahai,Bhudist and  even  atheist. But is  is  about  denouncing  idolatry  and  worshipping  GOD  alone  without  associating any  other  entity  besides  HIM  before  your  interim expires in this life.

 

  Minimum Requirements For Salvation

[2:62]  Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

[5:69]  Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the converts, and the Christians; any of them who (1) believe in GOD and (2) believe in the Last Day, and (3) lead a righteous life, have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.



It  is  our  EGO  that  stands  beteween  us  and  the  truth  in  this  life. To  solve  the  mysteries of  life, you  must  kill your  EGO.

GOD  has  sent  to us a message  from  outer  space  for  over 1400 years ago now, but we disregarded it. A  message mathematically  composed  in  such  a  manner  far  beyond  human  capabilities. The  only message  that can  withstand scientific scrutiny. It  mentions the  most  critical  scientific  discoveries  even  before  there was  science  in  the  form it is today. From  the  initial  state  of  the universe before its creation(Big bang theory), time dilation phenomenon, Stages  fetus development, invisible barrier between  sweet and salty water and  countless of other evidences. you  just  go on and verify  the  evidence from GOD.
