God created man with a well thought-out plan, the essence of which is to give man complete freedom—not simply as a gift, but as a test. The test would enable God to know who misused freedom and who put freedom to the best use. This was, and still is, the divine scheme of things for man.  This test is also for a high purpose. Before creating man, God created an ideal world, Paradise. He wanted ideal men and women who would merit being settled in this Paradise for eternity. The present world is a selection ground for Paradise. This divine scheme, affords a great opportunity to man. In the pre-death period of life, man has the chance to qualify himself for Paradise, so that post-death he may be settled as a deserving candidate in this perfect world.
