Since God knows that there are people who will be atheists, why did He create them?
Since God knows that there will be atheists, why did He create them?
Look at the words of Allah the Almighty (interpretation of the meaning) :
{ Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?}
Quran (43:5).
Is it because you will disbelieve according to the knowledge of Allah, then he shall not create you?
What is this ridiculous perception!
He who deserves the punishment, it is fair to create him then he will meet his destination.
If the atheist deserves disbelief according to the knowledge of Allah, then why not Allah creat him then hold him accountable?
Is it because he will disbelief in Allah then Allah shall spare him the troubles and abstain from creating him?
Is not this pure overstringent and naïve assumption?
If the atheist deserves eternity in the fire then it is fair to be in his proper destination.
Moreover, our criterion for judging justice is not absolute, but rather a limited criterion within the limits of our human nature, and absolute justice belong to Allah the Almighty who declared that His slaves will not be oppressed, he said (interpretation of the meaning) :
{ and never will I be unjust to the servants. }
Quran (50:29).
So that this is the reference for the facts which we are not able to understand. This is the safe approach, because the origin of disbelief is the denial of what we did not understand, Allah said (interpretation of the meaning) :
{ Rather, they have denied that which they encompass not in knowledge and whose interpretation has not yet come to them. }
Quran (10:39)
