چرا خدا ما را بدون اجازه آفرید؟

That God created beings without their permission is clear proof of this undeniable truth: the Essence of the One, the All-Subduing, whose nature is beyond description, transcends and precedes existence.

The joyful truth is that He is the Originator, and in originating creation He asks no one’s permission!

More wondrous still is that, at the very outset of “coming into being,” a creature had no will by which it could know what permission or willing meant. Its coming into existence was therefore pure grace, not an act of injustice toward it.

For a creature to understand, and to become capable of willing and of granting or withholding permission, it must first receive the care and will of the one Creator. That is, the Creator must will that His creature be able to will. Until this stage is reached, no creature can ask any question or wonder why. “Asking questions” is itself something that must be brought into being, and the Creator is the one who brings it into being.

There is abundant evidence that, when the Creator bestowed free choice upon the creature so it could enter the arena of competition and the trial of servitude, with all its particular conditions and circumstances, the creature accepted it...

A more technical explanation

For a human being to enter the realm of willing, certain stages must be traversed. At the beginning of creation, the reality of each being had no identity apart from that very manifest will: God willed, and the being came into existence. The being’s existence was nothing other than the Creator’s will; each being was solely and entirely a manifestation of the divine will—a display of that will.

For a being to be able to “will,” the possibility of willing must first come into existence within it. At this stage, once again, the being is first endowed with free choice by its Originator, so that it may “will.”

At the very threshold of free choice, the being’s will stood at zero, in its unformed state. From that moment on, as it journeyed along the path of spiritual wayfaring, a particular form of servitude began with the acquisition of the “capacity for free choice and will.”

At the boundary of the divine will, a being is simply the realization of what has been willed. In this state and station, it is merely the “object of will” of the “One Who wills,” and has no other aspect. At this stage, it is not “knowing and capable of willing or not willing.”

For a being to know and be capable of willing or not willing, another will must come into effect beyond the previous one. Thus, the creature’s own will—whether it exists or not—is entirely meaningless.

A little more technical detail

For a being to will before it is created is entirely meaningless, since it is itself a manifestation of God’s very will.

The creature’s capacity to will must come about through a further, secondary act of will by the Creator, enabling it to choose. At this stage, the creature may ask to withdraw from its “capacity to will,” return to the preceding stage, or ask to be annihilated. But once it has accepted the trial and test—which is, in reality, the arena in which creatures find themselves—any request to withdraw after entering it would mean turning away from servitude. It would also amount to a failure in servitude. Many creatures fail before the trial and contest of servitude have run their course, while some attain victory.
