Allah Erased Memory Of Ahd-e-Alast Doesn't Make Sense
I agree with you except for your last para. “Once we believe there is a God who created us, it’s easy to accept fact that we had accepted the challenge”. Thats the covenant under discussion. Had we remembered it from the past life, we would have focused more on the next steps. A lot of time and energy is being wasted in funding God and His Will so we know our job earth. 2ndly, “Self awareness and free will doesn’t help humans survive any better from evolution standpoint so it has to serve some other purpose.” This statement is far from the fact. If dinosaurs had the knowledge of the right direction to run in for survival, they would be walking among us today. Because of the freewill humans have escaped many pandemics, natural calamities and accidents that helped human race survive so much better than any other species on Earth. From a few 100 thousands we are a thriving community of billions in a very short span of time. If you wish to discuss this point further you’ll have to create a new discussion as it is kind of irrelevant here.
