If yes then to what  extent is he allowed to spread evil? And why are we humans held  responsible for that? When Adam was created he had no concept of good or  bad. Where did these come from? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>According  to the Islamic faith God knows everything. He knew everything from the  beginning and nothing can add to His knowledge. When He asked <em>Iblis<\/em>  to prostrate before Adam or when He put Adam in the garden He knew how  each would react. He did so for the training and knowledge of the  humans. This forms part of human test and trial during this worldly  life. Satan is given freedom to entice humans who have to resist his  whispers and follow the path of virtue and righteousness. Adam and Eve  and all the humans are given necessary knowledge of good and bad to  decide, judge and adopt the right course. This knowledge of good and  evil is ingrained in human nature (<em>fitrah<\/em>). <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-21<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6576\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to learn did God know that <em>Iblees<\/em>  would react the way he did when Adam was created?
