“The reality is that life is a test. Life is a test. This is the purpose of the creation. Therefore the world is perfect at being a test ground for the human being. Because within the world is good and evil, happiness & unhappiness, beauty & ugliness, right & wrong, darkness and light. How will you test goodness if there is no evil? How will you know goodness if there is no evil? How will you know good beauty if there’s no ugliness? How will you know right if there’s no wrong? How will you know truth if there’s no falsehood? So life is a test and that is why we find within the world, within the universe we find it the way it is. We find there’s death, there’s disease, there’s poverty there’s wealth, there is illness there is health, etc.” -Abdur-Raheem Green
