What's The Need To Create Jannah?
Let me try again. Allah wants to try us to select good inmates for Jannah is not the complete story. Allah also wants all of His creation including humans to co-create stuff adding to evolution of intelligence and automation. Why Allah wants it is because it’s the creation that makes Him Ilah or Allah. If a god cannot create he cannot be God. In Quran Allah says something like what have they created who you worship other than God? Meaning, to be God, one must be the creator. In addition, Allah has many attributes that defines Him such as Rehman, Rahem etc. None of those attributes make any sense if He is alone but not a Creator — who is He going to be Rahman with? You can have a view that Allah could have chosen a more efficient way to create whatever He wants to create by just saying His word “kun”. We can all have views but it’s only His own domain and prerogative to decide what process of creation makes more sense to Him. If i were God’s decision support, i would have advised Him the same gradual process as God is running now that’s because He is supposed to be a full time creator (not someone who once created something but now has retired but one) who continues to create so we as His creature can experience the wonderful journey and at the same time (and more importantly) the process of creation continues indefinitely.
