Oh, that's a great question. How does a person know if a material
gift that they've been given is good for them? Or is bad for them?
Right? The answer is whether you receive pain or comfort.
That's objective, I received something pleasurable, or I
receive something painful, like getting fired painful news. You
know if it's good or bad only afterwards, if it causes you to
turn to Allah than it was good for you, if it causes you to turn back
from Allah away from Allah than is bad for you. So ultimately, who is
the decider of what's if it was good or bad? Ultimately, you're
the decider this religion elevates freewill and intellect and human
willpower more than any other religion. Yeah.
