    1. Although Quran states that this life is a test, but it doesn’t seem like everyone is being tested equally.

    2. It doesn’t seem logical that all knowing Allah need to test humans to find out if they deserve paradise or hell.

    3. Are we on this earth as a result of and to pay for Prophet Adam’s sins.

    4. Are we on Earth to prove Iblis wrong and for good to prevail over evil.

    The divine plan for creation is independent of Iblis. Its purpose is to test how well humans perform, with paradise as their reward.

    Humans are not tested equally because they possess different abilities, resources, and capacities. Justice lies in evaluating them according to their individual capacities.

    This is not a test of God’s knowledge but a test for humans, designed to reward them. They can only earn this reward after successfully passing the test.

    When God created Adam, He declared that Adam would be sent to Earth as a responsible being. This decision was made before Adam’s mistake in the garden. Although Adam was placed in the garden temporarily, he was destined to leave eventually. However, his impatience hastened the process, and he was sent to Earth to begin his true purpose: living as a responsible being.

    The correct question is whether God needed to implement this plan. The answer is no, He did not need to, but He chose to do so.
