[quote]>>Those examples are better understood through the concept of "free will"

Fair enough!

>>Does "outcome of nature" make God not responsible of it? He created nature and those earthquake were there on earth maybe even before our coming.

Yes. That is why he states, that he will test some with loss of life, some with lack of wealth,....but give glad tidings to the patient, for He is with the patient.

Why does he create the retarded, the deformed, why does he exalt some but denigrate others?

All the above are part of his grand scheme. He is testing us all in our different situations.

>>Why is it exclusive to the age of prophet? does it mean that itmamul hujjaj is not attainable after the prophet age?

Yes, because only a Prophet can clearly preach the message of God. Only when a Prophet who is sent to clearly warn people is rejected that Divine scourge comes into effect.

>>Do you think the test or "reminder of death" for human being is not complete without such earthquake as already people see death closely between relatives or friends etc.

Different tests for different people, some are harder than others. The Almighty likes variety, what can I say?

>>that such things like earthquakes, flood and  other "natural" disasterss are necessary for the test of human being,

I will change 'necessary' to 'one kind of test'.

>>wont that bring the feeling in our hearts that no matter what we do to protect ourselves we will be overcomed anyway......will you still try to protect yourselves?

Yes, because God indicates that life is sacred. And according to my belief, all of faith is about getting up and starting again.

Same for when a person sins. None is perfect. You sin, but amend, sin again, and amend again. That is life.

Likewise, when one loses a loved one, say a parent, one grieves, but then moves on after that. And one still protects what is left after them i.e. children, siblings and what not.

Keep engaged. I will try to the best of my abilities to assist you in any manner possible.[/quote]
