We will take the last question.
Muhammad Bilal
he says I'm a veterinarian in Faisalabad, Pakistan. If Allah
knows which sin I will be committing in the future, why does
he not stop me? Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran
surah Mulk. Chapter 67 was number two, under the Halacha motor will
hire it is Allah who has created that a life to test which of your
good deeds, so this life, it is a test for the Hereafter.
And Allah subhanaw taala he does know what sins you're going to
commit in the future. So, why does it not stop you?
This life is a test for the hereafter, and we human beings we
have been given a free will be human beings, we are a unique
creation, Allah subhanaw taala already created the angels who do
not have a free will be human beings, we are a unique creation.
And I would like to give you a simple example.
During an examination
while the students they are appearing for the examination, the
teacher passes by one of the students and the teacher notices
that the student has written the answer for question number one
wrong.
If the teacher wants, she can correct the student during the
examination
that the answer to question number one it is wrong and correct the
answer the correct answer swing so the teacher can do that. But it
will be unjust upon the other students, the other students they
will think why did I toy? Why are they putting so much effort if I
knew that the teacher will help during the examination.
So even though the teacher knows the answer, the teacher has to be
just in the situation and should not help the student because it is
an examination. Similarly this life, it is a test for the
hereafter, even though Allah subhanaw taala knows that we
become a thing since Allah subhanaw taala he has given us a
free will. Because this is a test and based upon our deeds, we will
either enter paradise or we will enter hellfire. And even if a
person he commit sins, the door of repentance, it is open.
Even if a person commits sins, he can very well asked repentance
from Allah subhanaw taala and in sha Allah, Allah subhanaw taala He
will forgive him. And there are four criteria for repentance. The
first is that you should stop the act immediately. The second is a
sincere repentance from Allah subhanaw taala. The third is that
if you've taken something from someone and if you can return it,
you should return it. For example, if you've robbed something, you
should return it. And the fourth is that you should make a strong
resolution that you will not return to the game.
So you should follow these criteria of repentance and if you
are sincere repentance from Allah subhanaw taala He will forgive you
