Bismillah
In order to try and cover all aspects of the subject, as we mentioned above, tests and tribulations and earned due to our deeds. This is the core of interest here.
The evil we do, or to be more specific wrong actions and sins are the fruit of two evil forces mankind are subjected to. Self and satan. As Radiyah posted the Ayah:
“8. Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him;
Therefore we are commanded to fight ourselves in order to adhere to what Allah Commanded us to observe. The choice is ours just like satan when he decided to disobey Allah and refuse to prostrate to Adam as Allah Commanded, he dared to challenge Allah to turn mankind astray. Thus, since then we face those two pulling forces towards evil and we have to fight. If we didn’t have the choice, it would have been unfair for Allah to hold u accountable.
However, when we commit a sin, this sin is not induced upon us by Allah but as I said it is the fruit of either devilish or self wrong inspiration. Allah Being the All Knowing and already has knowledge about this, does not make Allah the one Who pushed us thru this road.
It is like you having a child who spends evening going to movies, and meeting friends. You come to him/her and say very confidently you are not going to make the exam you are having an f and if u do, no pocket money or movies for a month, which of course happens later. Did you make him score the f? did you force the punishment on him/her or he/she earned it????
