An Agnostic boy, And a Religious man.

 It was the month of Ramadan and an old man with gray hair and a white beard was crying like a baby inside the mosque, his face cupped in his hands. A young boy in his teens was passing by the very same mosque at exactly the time when the old man got up and swept his tears with his hands. The young boy was listening to songs on his soap-shaped android. They both looked at each other silently for just as long as societal norms permit to look and then both moved on in opposite directions in a dark street. Two steps down the road both look upward to the sky. And first, the old man said in his heart Oh! God, please, I really wish you enter this boy into Jannah. And then, the boy was whispering into his heart, oh! God, even if I don't know, I really wish u really were, and enter people like this old man to Jannah, and vindicate the efforts and hopes of their lifetime.  May this man meet his God.

What use is free will? if there is no sin.

Choice always entails difference. If u have to choose between identical things, there is nothing to choose. They are the same. In fact, choice is obliterated when all is the same. If everything is right and right, what to choose, where is the option? Where does it leave choice, choice must necessarily be between wrong and right. Free will and sin- the two are inseparable.
