The speaker discusses the idea of using the " freewill" concept to reconcile the future with one's ability to stand or sit. The concept is that individuals can choose to stand or sit, knowing that they have the freedom to choose. This freedom allows them to choose what they want to do, and it is a test they are forced to do.

the test. Let the whole apple moto what Hialeah blue icon the One who created death and life in
order to test you. So giving us free will the ability to choose is that test therefore we also know
that we're not forced to do anything alone knowing what you're going to do is a separate matter.
That's because Allah subhanaw taala is alive when he does not force you to make the decisions that
you're making today. And you know this because right now you can do whatever you want, right you
choose to believe or disbelieve to work towards paradise or the hellfire.
