  • If Shaytan Hadn’t Disobeyed, Would The Human Test Still Have Happened , How?

    Posted by Muhammad on July 4, 2025 at 2:28 pm

    I’m trying to understand the sequence of human creation and the test in Islam. I know that:

    – Allah told the angels that He would place a khalifa on Earth — so the test of humans was already planned.

    – Later, Iblis (Shaytan) refused to bow to Adam and was expelled. Then he challenged Allah, saying he would mislead humans.

    My confusion is:

    If the test of humans was already planned before Iblis rebelled, then what was the nature of that test supposed to be?

    Was Iblis always meant to be part of the test?

    If Shaytan hadn’t disobeyed, would the human test still have happened — and how?

    If Allah announced the plan to place humans on Earth before Iblis disobeyed, and at that point there was no Iblis, then how was the test going to happen? Isn’t the test based on choosing between Allah’s path and Shaytan’s whispers?

    I would appreciate a clear explanation to help me understand
    JazakAllahu Khair!
