Omar Suleiman

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.

That will choose service and choose dedication and devotion over death and destruction.

That there are human beings that will in fact ascend the angels in rank because they will live lives where they choose that capacity, that part of themselves.

And they lean into that and worship God lovingly and obey him.

You see, some of the sages in Islam, scholars, they describe this as saying that the human being has the capacity to be anywhere from an animal to an angel, or even worse, to be a devil to an angel.

Not in the sense that we ever actually become angels or become animals, but that an animal, for the most part, seeks its desires over everything, doesn't really think about

You know, many of the things that we are supposed to calculate as human beings doesn't think about which territory it's infringing upon or, you know, how much of its appetite it should fulfill.
