Things that I don't understand

Dear Allah,

I hope you get this letter, as I’m in a great deal of doubt.
I don’t get your Divine Plan, what’s it all about?
There you are, before a creation to fill
Nothing but Allah, he, himself and his will,
Perhaps you were lonely, though even then you knew.
You’d create angels, to obey and worship you.
Maybe this wasn’t enough, you were not amused,
But why you created Satan, just leaves me bemused
You gave man a mind and a freewill to choose
Then demanded he believe in irrational, contradictory clues
While keeping yourself hidden from all verification
Threatening torture if we don’t prostrate in supplication
You sent prophets and books to a patch of land
And miracles galore to that sacred area of sand
But before man can scientifically record and corroborate
You decide communications must now mysteriously terminate
You say you are testing mankind — to see who is true
Though saint and sinner, you already knew
But worse than this is the consequence of this test
It’s results are iniquitous — perverse at best
Those, who accept on faith, myths handed down
Will enjoy eternal bliss and never have to frown
While those who insist on reasoning with their brain
Will be sent to the fire of Hell to suffer eternal pain
Dear Allah none of this makes sense to me
Please tell me if there is something I’ve failed to see
And I don’t understand when so many suffer and dieWhat is the reason — I cannot see why?
Was it a test for the baby, her father or mother
Or was she sacrificed to test someone other?
When you planned all this did you count every tear
Was your ultimate purpose that we tremble in fear
And when all are in Heaven or Hell — as dictated by fate
Will you sit back on your throne to shouts of “Allah is Great”?

Written by Hassan. A narration by Nesrin.

It's impossible to deny that there's a higher power called "God" ... which creates life. But yet so many questions without an answer. It's just too hard to accept that there is suffering to innocent people and call it a "test" or whatever it may be. How many souls does God need in His Heaven Kingdom?and why? We don't have much understanding about spirituality but all of us expect for a life after death, maybe just to relieve our fear of the unknowing. May the justice be made for all those who have lost their lives in a miserable world, for all those who have lived in pain without the pure "taste" of something called "happiness" and May God have mercy upon them, in their next  lives on earth (if there'll be) or in heaven. We hope so.

You know you're not the only one
When they all come crashing down, midflight
You know you're not the only one
When they're so alone they find a back door out of life
You know you're not the only one
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives we've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes, hypnotized
You know you're not the only one
Never understood this life
And you're right I don't deserve
But you know I'm not the only one
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives we've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
Don't look down, don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you
Don't look down, you'll fall down, you'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong, can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you
If I can't feel, I'm not mine, I'm not real
All our lives we've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
