Is This Worldly Test Majorly For Men?
Likewise, brother!I’m glad you replied to my question. Mashallah, I can see that you also spend time reflecting on both deen and dunya, which is inspiring. I completely agree with you on the equality of men and women in terms of human dignity . However, men and women have been created differently—physically, mentally, and biologically. In relationships (as explained in a video I watched by Ghamidi sb) their roles differ. For example, a husband is given more authority and a higher position in the relationship, but that same husband holds a lower position than his mother , who is a woman. This shows how rank or responsibility is situational . In a family system, the father typically holds the highest authority. As we discussed earlier, since this life is primarily a test for men, it makes sense that the one in the leadership role would also be the one accountable for decisions on the Day of Judgment. Regarding Hoors and the rewards of Jannah , I feel these descriptions are given in terms we can understand in this world . The actual rewards will be far greater and beyond our understanding. Men are often attracted to women and wealth in this life. The concept of Hoors may reflect the first part, while wealth is symbolized through descriptions of luxuries in Paradise like rivers of milk, alcohol and delicious food, and beautiful women because thats what we do in this world when we get wealth. I also agree with your point that “Hoor” could be an adjective, possibly referring to righteous women of Paradise maybe a separate creation. As for the other question, we can only assume. The Qur’an mentions that the Day of Judgment is for humans and jinn , so it’s possible both will be in the same Jannah, though at different levels just as there are different ranks among humans. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who feels this worldly test is focused more on men . What are your thoughts about other creations besides humans and jinn?Personally, I believe that only human and jin exists in this solar system or maybe even our galaxy or universe but there could be more. The Qur’an mentions seven skies , which I interpret as possibly referring to seven universes . It’s possible that other creations of Allah exist in those realms some might currently be undergoing their own test, or maybe their test has already been completed. From what I understand, Heaven and Hell will be created after the destruction of this world/universe , using the matter from this universe. If that’s the case, perhaps the other universes have already gone through their phases or will go through them in the future. Allah knows best these are just thoughts which circle around in my mind.
