God’s knowledge of human actions does not negate the necessity of trials. Trials serve a dual purpose: to reveal to God what individuals will do, and to make individuals consciously aware of their own deeds. This record, maintained by angels, will be presented to each person, demanding proof of their actions. God isn't testing out of ignorance, but to establish proof of worth. The ultimate purpose is to demonstrate one’s value and determine their standing and rank in God’s eyes. This process emphasizes the importance of proving oneself and earning one's rightful place.
