Why God Tests Man When He Knows Result

“I could never understand why God tests a man when he is already aware of his response. A test is conducted when the ability of someone is not known, but God is already aware of everything beforehand. Kindly clear this doubt of mine.”Asked by سعید انور

His answer, in his own words
47:51
Maulana, agla sawal Saeed Anwar sahib ne kiya hai, unhone likha hai ke I could never understand that why God tests a man when he is already aware of his response. A test is conducted when the ability of someone is not known, but God is already aware of everything beforehand. Maulana sahib, kindly clear this doubt of mine. Dekhiye, test log samajhte hain ke literal maani mein lete hain. Test ka matlab hai ke personality development, aise haalaat mein daalna hai insaan ko ke andar woh us ko challenge pesh aaye, challenge ko saamna karte hue us ke andar development ho. Test jo hai, apne aap ko develop karne ka naam hai. Personality development baghair test ke nahi hota.

Test ke maani challenge, test ke maani challenge, aise challenges ke darmiyan aap ko jeena padta hai, jis ko face karte hue aap ko tarah tarah ke tajurbaat guzarte hain. Is mein aap ke personality ka development hota hai. Maulana, agla sawal lene se pehle ek comment padhna chahenge jo Dr. Safeena ne bheja hai Ajmer se aur unhone likha hai ke Maulana sahib only you are showing mirror to the Muslim community.
