Now, if you don't believe in the hereafter, if you don't believe in anything beyond this life, then the recourse has to happen in this life.
And because we see so many people pass through this life,
without recourse of cruelty, without recourse of suffering, then we're forced to try to make sense of it.
And if you are someone who believes that this entire world came into existence through randomness, that we're just an existence of random atoms that collide with each other and that all of this comes together out of nothing, then how can you put your trust in anything that is greater?
So you asked me as a child of a parent who suffered,
I believe that every moment that my mother suffered, that she will be rewarded, that she will be elevated, that all of that
made her or contributed to the beautiful person that she was and will contribute to the beautiful reward that she receives.
And the recourse is certain to me as a believer in that.
Absolutely.
In fact, in the Quran, it's very interesting.
When God creates Adam,
The angels say to God, are you going to create a race or a species that will spill blood and cause corruption?
And God says to the angels in response to that question, I know that which you don't know.
So even the angels have to humble themselves for a moment.
The angels who adore God, who love God, who
who worship him, who obey him unconditionally, they are told by God, I know that which you don't know.
And what we extract from that, what many of the early interpretations extract from that is that God knows that there are human beings that will come out of this enterprise of humanity that make the entire existence of it worth it.
And so just as yes, there will be criminals and corrupt ones,
there will be prophets and beautiful people that come out of this and sages and saints that come out of this that show that a human being who unlike an angel who has no choice but to worship god an angel has no sense of will no sense of choice an angel is created to worship and has no desires a human being who has the choice of desire and worship the choice of righteousness and wickedness that there are human beings who will choose worship and righteousness
That will choose charity over cruelty.
