His answer, in his own words
50:28
maulana agla sawal ahmedabad se kya hai zubair sahib ne aur unhon ne likha hai ke maulana god is all knowing So an atheist friend tells us when we talk to them about faith that why God wants human belongs to demonstrate faith by worshipping as He is already all-knowing.

this is a contradiction. how should we respond to such people? nahi aap aap ne galat angle se dekha. woh hamare hamare training ke liye hai. yani Allah taala hum ko

paida karne ke baad Allah taala ka jo plan hai hamein attender paidaish mein pohnchana. to is ke liye hamari training ho rahi hai yahan par. woh jo cheezein hain woh sab hamari apni apni personality development ke liye hamari apni training ke liye ke hum kisi situation mein hum positive response dete hain ke negative response dete hain. kisi such uation mein hum peaceful rehte hain ya ya violent ho jate hain. kisi mauqe par aap hum acknowledge karte hain ya hum acknowledge nahi karte. yeh sab hamara test ho raha hai. agar yeh sab halaat na hon to test kaise ho? isi test ki buniyad par yeh yeh sabit ho jayega ke kaun aadmi jannat ke liye deserving candidate hai. to aap ne galat an galat se dekha hai. is ko right angle dekhiye toh aap ko yeh bohat hi durust planning Allah taala ki nazar ayegi.

molana sahib aise hi smilar question poocha hai. unhon ne location nahi likhi hai apni. sawal karne wale ne likha hai ke god is closer to us dein aur jugular wen sees quran.
