If God knows the future how come he created people he knew would suffer and why would he create Satan ?

Belief in God requires a certain selective blindness.

34 people dies in a bus accident, but one baby survives; it is proclaimed a miracle.

See what I mean?

This is a good question, and one that I believe has a valid answer. First, what I want to describe isn't a direct answer to your question but needs to be understood so let's look at this scenario: An architect designs a house that is perfect in every way, beautiful lawn, structurally sound, etc. Then a few months later termites attack it and start to eat away at the frame and destroy the house. Does the termite infestation disprove the existence of the architect? If the house was burned down, does that disprove the existence an architect? No. Similarly, when God created the world he did so with all things being perfect, all creation, all people (Adam and Eve). There was no death and suffering in the beginning. It wasn't God that brought evil into the world, but mankind, namely Adam through his choice in the Garden of Eden. God set them in the Garden and they made the wrong choice. In the beginning, God didn't intend for people to die at all, but the Bible is clear that death came as a result of sin (Romans 5:12). So you ask, why would He create people that He knew would eventually choose not to follow Him? One option is He could have created a world without free choice and we would essentially be like the old dolls that had a string in the back that you pull and says, "I love you...I love you". This wouldn't be true love, that's a robot. God doesn't want anyone to go to Hell and he provided a means to rescue us - Jesus Christ. If anyone goes to Hell, it's because they CHOOSE it, not because He sends them there....the choice is yours. God Bless You as you wrestle through these questions.

He even knows there are those with such infantile perceptions of Him sitting in some imaginary theatre in area, "staring at". How lots have you ever completed to help "human beings suffering interior the international" at the instant ~ or is that purely a handy line to declare mutually as complaining? he's all around us right here ... and His Spirit resides in some human beings right here as we bypass approximately this life, he's in touch in what we do. particular He has plans for people who learn from Him .. massive plans .. and that i'm fairly satisfied He knows what he's doing, and could willingly take my area in a destiny greater superb than absolutely everyone can yet stumble on.

Very easy question. I have read the back of the book and we win!

Romans 8:28 (KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Heaven is so wonderful that it is not lawful to tell how wonderful it is:

2 Corinthians 12:4 (KJV) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

As to your question about hell, God is the God of Love and He will not force you to be with Him in Heaven if you don't want to be there. Hell was intended for fallen angels but men have demanded that God send them there and He has lovingly allowed them their choice:

John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

1 -

Allah knows the future (just as He knows everything), true?

2 -

Allah is always is control, He is the Creator of the actions of everyone, true?

Those 2 points are clear, logical, understandable - that is the basis of the Qadr, the Power of Allah over all actions, all creation, all time periods - past, present, future. Now as for the details of the Decree, then how we have free will while Allah has this Power of Control over us is something which we cannot understand comprehensively or as clearly as the above 2 points. So in our lives, we base ourselves on what is Certain, Clear, not on what is too deep for us to understand. All you need to do is, believe in Tawheed, believe in the Decree (which is part of Tawheed), and do what you are commanded & refrain from the sins which you are commanded to stay away from. This is how you can live with complete certainty. The principle is, what we have of knowledge from Revelation, we accept. What we are commanded, we fulfil:

4:66. ...but if they had done what they were told, it would have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith).

4:67. And indeed We should then have bestowed upon them a great reward from Ourselves.

4:68. And indeed We should have guided them to a Straight Way.

_______________________________________…

To explain in another way: IF Allah was not in control of everything, and not the Creator of actions as well as the Creator of everything else, and did not know the future, and did not control what He let others do or not do, then it would mean Weakness on His Part, wouldn't it? Allah cannot be Weak - it is Impossible, Illogical.

8:52. ...Verily, Allâh is All-Strong...

So Qadr, as all parts of Tawheed and Islam, show the Power of the Creator. This is easy to understand. As for HOW Qadr itself works and HOW we have free will as well, and how it is balanced, then this is knowledge that is beyond us.

-------------

The core Islamic belief is that man has been given free will in this life, and the retribution in the Hereafter is based on how he utilizes his freedom of choice in the worldly trial. Reconciling it with the notion of predestination is one of the most complex issues in Islamic theology. However, scholars have responded to this problem by stating that God is independent of space-time, and hence al-Qadr actually refers not to predestination (which has the notion of time) but to His knowledge of all events and actions, irrespective of time. Thus, who will go to Hell and who will enter Heaven is determined (not predetermined) for God, but for man, he will always bear the fruit of his actions. The issue can be solved only by considering God and man independently, and not on the same scale. In other words, Omniscience of God is not the opposite of Free Will.

[edit] ConceptThe phrase reflects a Muslim doctrine that Allah has measured out the span of every person's life, their lot of good or ill fortune, and the fruits of their efforts [1]. When referring to the future, Muslims frequently qualify any predictions of what will come to pass with the phrase Insha'Allah, Arabic for "if God wills [it]." The phrase recognizes that human knowledge of the future is limited, and that all that may or may not come to pass is under the control of God.

Qadar is one of the aspects of aqidah. Some Muslims believe that the divine destiny is when God wrote down in the Preserved Tablet ("al-Lau? al-Ma?fu?") all that has happened and will happen, which will come to pass as written[citation needed].

According to this belief, a person's action is not caused by what is written in the Preserved Tablet but, rather, the action is written in the Preserved Tablet because God already knows all occurrences without the restrictions of time.[3]

[edit] In the QuranThe doctrine of Predestination is sometimes only implied, and not mentioned together with the first five articles required for belief (i.e., God, hereafter, angels, Book, and the Prophets), which are stated in the same verses one after the other. In fact, Quran does so more than once,[clarification needed] God goes on to emphasise it in another way, He forbids the denial of the same five articles of belief, once again without the notion of Predestination;[Qur'an 2:177][Qur'an 4:136]

actuaally people make ppl.... i dont know all answears but hell is like divorse .... and God hates divorse, so God hates when ppl go to hell..... He is jealous for them .... if all was good all the time we would be like sodom and gomorah raping and rull over each other lol.... lack of GOd is the problem with suffering..... i believe in GOd i dont believe im a mistake.... although i dont have an anwear for that i know God exists and he crazily loves me.... i exeprianced it ... and God hates suffering too... i answeared that question before on yahoo... google it lol... if have any more questions and your sensier about it pm me.....

This is a dumb dumb question which can only be asked from no thought whatsoever.

God gives all opportunity to obtain the glory of God.

It cannot be that the innocent should be deprived of opportunity because of the wicked. If He did not create those who choose wickedness that would also deprive others of their opportunity for the glory of God. As it is, they will obtain.

What you say would deprive them. That makes you a monster of a murderer, does it not?

All have opportunity, including even you. What is your complaint?

God knows things about us based on the thoughts and actions we take also by our personality but it doesn't interfere with you freewill.....it leaves that perception open to God since he is outside of time and space

Never in the Bible do you find a beginning for either God or Satan. God is good and cannot change. Satan is evil and cannot change. You were created good, of God, but with the ability to choose to be of Satan. Your choice decides your eternal resident, either with God or with Satan.

God was bored and lonely so he wanted to play this game. He didn't do it with gods because he is too selfish for competition.
