Why does God test humans?

“As per Quran, God has put man in test on earth, but why does God need to test us? Can't He create pure souls at the first place and settle them in Jannah? He can create whatever He wills. Kindly explain.”Asked by Riyaz Bhat, Hyderabad, India

Maulana, agla sawal aaya hai Mr Riaz Bhat ka Hyderabad India se. unhon ne likha hai: "as per quran, god has put man in test on earth, but why god needs to test us? can't he create pure souls at the first place and settle them in jannat? he can create whatever he wills. kindly explain." yeh yeh yeh ek sawal nahi hai, yeh sirf ek zehni woh upaj hai. bas bhai, baghair aadmi ko, aadmi ko aap dunya mein jitni bhi job hain, jo deserve karta hai, us ko job milta hai.

khawamkhwah thori de diya hai kisi ko ke paida karo, jannat mein daal do. aisa kaise ho sakta hai? jo apne ko deserve sabit karega, us ke liye jannat milegi. us ko nahi sabit karega, us ko kura khane mein daal diya jayega. yeh to yani kya aap, aap aik is koi bhi aap kaam karte hon to kya baghair

deservation dekhe bhi usko dakhil karte hain? is mein aap aisa kaise ho sakta hai? yeh jo kaam aap khud na karte, usko chahte hain ke khuda usko ikhtiyar kare. koi bhi shakhs jo business chalata ho, koi koi idara chalata ho, to uske paas aadmi aata hai kaam ke liye, to usko zahir hai ke uska dekha hai ke deserve karta hai ya nahi karta. to allah taala ne yeh duniya ko banaya hai ke jo apne ko deserving candidate sabit karega, woh jannat mein jayega ga. jo nahi sabit karega, to us ko kura khane mein daal diya jayega. yeh to bilkul aik fitri baat hai.
