God has granted us the potential as well as the free will that are necessary for us to take the test of life so that we may be selected for His paradise. Since this is a test, by definition it requires struggle.

Moderator March 30, 2022 at 3:12 pmThe opposite of useless or pointless is not perfect.
God doesn’t create bodybuilders or athletes. God only creates people and gives them varying potentials. It’s people who become bodybuilders or athletes by realizing their own potentials. Some do while others don’t.
Also it must be understood that the purpose of human beings in this world is to be tested and get selected for God’s paradise. Regardless of whether a person is an athlete or a bodybuilder, their existence is not pointless.

Member March 31, 2022 at 10:05 amAccording to the research I have done so far, bodybuilding has no special benefits. So what’s the point of God giving man this ability? It’s the only thing that makes me hesitant.

Moderator March 31, 2022 at 11:39 amGod has given man a body so that he can carry out physical tasks in his daily life as well as procreate so that new human beings can continually enter this test of life. If you have figured that bodybuilding is useless then you can choose not to do it. There are many uses of your body that are still very valid. Many things can be used in various different ways, some of which might not be of any use to us. We have been granted the faculties of reason and rationality to figure out how best we can use those things and what uses we can do away with.

Member December 14, 2022 at 7:15 amI was looking for the same thread, “Since this is a test, by definition it requires struggle.”. What Faisal bhai said that the test is life struggle in terms of its meaning, but today’s modern era, we cannot say that this test is over, but why has it reduced?
In my very previous thread which was locked by the moderators was what I was trying to understand.
