Questioning Allah Ta'ala

Question

I wonder why Allah Ta'ala has created me? I know He created me so that I could worship Him. But He knew that I wouldn't worship Him. So why did He create me specially? Why did He waste His time on me?

Answer

You do not control Allah Ta'ala nor are you the boss of yourself. You are the property of Allah Ta'ala. He does as he pleases with His property as you do with your wealth and property.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
