*🌿 Man and the World*

*In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty has clarified in many places that He created humans in this world for a test. For example, at the beginning of Surah Al-Mulk, the command of Allah Almighty is:*

*Blessed is He in Whose hand is the dominion of the universe, and He has power over all things. (He) Who created death and life that He may test you as to which of you is better in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Forgiving. (Al-Mulk 67: 1-2)*

*The Holy Quran is absolutely clear that the purpose of this worldly test is to see who chooses the path of His worship out of mere fear of God and for the sake of His pleasure, unseen and without any compulsion, and who follows Satan and makes Hell their destination.*

*Every one of us is living in this very test at every moment. We have the freedom to speak whatever we want. We have the freedom to do whatever we want. But this freedom is not unlimited; rather, it is restricted to the life of this world. A day will come when, like every human being, this world too will be brought to an end. Then a new world will be created. In that world, all blessings will be gathered in the dwelling of Paradise, and all punishments will be provided in the prison of Hell.*

*Then those people who, despite having all the means of evil, chose the path of righteousness, will be settled in Paradise forever so that they may cool their eyes with the blessings of Allah morning and evening. As for those who spent their respite of the test in negligence and rebellion, the prison of Hell will be their destination where they will weep and cry out for eternity.*
