If it is not avoidable, then what is the best way to prepare for the test? Please comment." dekhiye, test ka jo muamla hai woh jura hua hai Allah taala ki poori jo scheme of things hai us se. scheme of things kya hai? woh yeh hai ke Allah taala ne ek dunya banai jis ko hum kehte hain paradise. ek ideal world, ek perfect world. wahan har har woh cheez hai jo insan chahta hai. quran mein hai ke: "وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَئُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ" wahan sab kuch hai jo tum chaho.
