And this, of course, is the ultimate goal and the happiest end for which the strivers are urged to strive. But before we can get there we have the life of this world, wherein our fortitude is tested to show us who indeed deserves entry into this tremendous Paradise. Firstly here, we receive guidance. No one is left to wander blindly along, trying to pass the tests of this life without help and advice. Prophets and books have been sent to every people confirming and reinforcing that which we bore witness to when brought forth from the loins of our father Aadam, even before we were born from our mothers.
Nobody has a leg to stand on trying to claim that they didn t know.
Then, to further facilitate our passage through this earthly existence, we have been given all kinds of abilities and faculties within ourselves and within our reach. This is the minimum faculty required for a person to be held responsible for seeking guidance and clarification of the truth, and to be accountable for their deeds. Beyond that, the sensory abilities of sight, hearing, speech, touch and taste, and the physical abilities of strength and movement are but additional benefits from among the previously mentioned innumerable blessings. This is besides the natural resources made available and subjected to our use from the animals and vegetation, the sun, moon and stars and the minerals of the earth, all of which have been provided for us, through no ability of our own, except what HE the Almighty also has granted us by HIS infinite Grace and Mercy. He it is Who gathers the clouds by HIS command, bringing beneficial rain, which restores a dead earth to life.
