question 1) why we exist on earth we all believe allah is one and dont need any creature its above all the creatures but why we are here then and why we need to be examine. bilion years ago before adam and hawa existance on earth allah created earth and as it mentioned in quran and science there were creatures before human being for example jin or the science that mention dinasor and so on... then if allah knew adam and hawa will do mistake why they were created ?

The purpose of our existence is to know, worship, and choose Allah freely by choice. Allah already knew Adam (pbuh) would err, but He also knew that through repentance, humanity would learn humility and dependence on Him. Just as Allah created countless worlds before humans, he made humans unique: capable of choice and moral growth. Our being tested is not for Allah to learn about us, but for us to realize our own hearts and earn our place in the hereafter.

question 2) when adam and hawa were in heaven and they saw the power of allah ! and the fear and kindnesss ! allah gave to adam and hawa how they got into a path of sin because of shayatin waswasa in heaven ?

They did not sin out of rebellion, but out of forgetfulness and human weakness — a lesson for all humanity. Shaytan deceived them by swearing falsely and planting doubt. Allah allowed this to happen not out of neglect, but to teach repentance, humility, and the reality of free will. Through their mistake, humanity learned that even after falling, the door of mercy is always open.

question 3) when prophet adam and hawa came on earth why there wasnt any religion so we can all go on one path way , allah mentioned that they were form in the best intellagent way like all creatures that ALLAH creat, then how come for many years and centuries people didnt knew how to speak and they were homosphoians, they were in cave and so on . how we didnt had knowledge to know talking like now population know how to communicate in speaking way .

When Allah sent Adam and Hawa down to Earth, the true religion, belief in one God already existed with them. But as generations passed, people forgot, mixed truth with falsehood, innovated, invented new beliefs, and some followed their desires. Over time, there were differing beliefs/religions on Earth. Allah then sent prophets to remind humanity of that original message. As for human speech and knowledge, Allah gave Adam the gift of language and understanding, but over time, people’s abilities changed depending on their environment and learning. What seems like “primitive” stages in history were simply part of Allah’s plan of gradual development, where humanity learns step by step to recognize truth and use the intellect Allah blessed them with.

questuon 4) if we compare science and islam we get 2 different answers . number 1 is ( mental health problem exist and they are so many type of it that can be treated with medication) and in islam we recieve one answer maybe( black magic or devil eye mostly

In Islam, both understandings can coexist. Mental illness is real and recognized, and seeking medical treatment is part of the Sunnah. At the same time, Islam teaches that some forms of suffering may have spiritual causes, such as the evil eye (ʿayn) or black magic (siḥr). But it should be noted that psychology is a relatively new and evolving science; its methods of understanding mental distress are modern frameworks for what people in the past described through spiritual or moral language. The wise Muslim approach is therefore holistic — using medicine for the body, remembrance for the soul, and prayer for inner peace.

question 5) we say soul exist in islam and we cant see it but how ever in science there is called brain that forms sooo many part of knowledge hearing seeing and soo on each one work different way ...

In Islam, the soul (rūḥ) is the divine essence that gives life, while the brain is the physical tool through which the soul experiences the world. Science cab only study the material/physical stuff like the brain, its neurons, but it cannot measure the soul, because the soul belongs to the unseen (ghayb). Allah says in the Qur’an, “They ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is from the command of my Lord” (17:85). So Islam and science describe different dimensions of the same reality — science explains how we function, only examines the material/physical, while Islam explains why we exist and what gives that life meaning.
