Why Allah Put Everyone to a Test?
Na?ve people ask, when Allah knew this before that some will do good deeds and others will be sinners, then why did He create Human beings on earth? This was also the concern of angles when Allah told them about His plan to create human beings.
Allah’s response to the angles was that I know what you don’t know. So, we can assume His same response to us. However, since Allah Has given us intellect which angles were not given, so we can contemplate some reasonable answers to it. Of course, based on Quranic injunctions.
In Surah Ad-Duha Allah says, “eternal life is (far) better than this life.” Meaning our real life is not this one but will begin in the eternal world, where we will live forever. About this life Allah says in Surah Mulk, “I have created death and life to see who does good deeds.” At another place in Quran Allah says, “I have created Mankind and Jinns to worship me. Meaning to live as per Allah’s guidance.
Reading the above referred Ayats in conjunction, we get this understanding that while Allah had already knew who will do good deeds and who will be the sinner, but He sent them to this world to establish evidence against the sinners so that on the day of judgement they cannot say you did not send us to the world otherwise we would have done good deeds.

Secondly, He was being just and fair to everyone and gave equal opportunity to everyone to earn the rewards of the eternal life sending all of them to this world for a test.
Last but not the least, He wished everyone to go to Janna though he knew some will not enter, so He also sent His guidance through the Angles to the Prophets pbut to guide their nations. Again, to give equal opportunity to everyone and establish justice on the day of judgment.
Allah is all knowing and can do what He wills – “kun faiakun”
