What Do Our Efforts Actually Get Us

What Do Our Efforts Actually Get Us ? ( NOTE : THIS IS NOT WHAT I BELIEVE, BUT A THOUGHT THAT HAS BEEN DISTURBING ME LATELY AND I WANT TO RESOLVE IT ) THE ANALOGY : 1. I take my young child to a store filled with PS5s, Xboxes, massive screens running Forza, COD, and more — all playable, all vivid, all designed to captivate He never knew this world existed before I brought him here Now he wants it. Deeply. That desire is entirely something I created by bringing him here [We are created with a nature that seeks ever increasing pleasure, beauty, and ease — the very things paradise promises. And at the same time a nature that avoids suffering, hardship, and pain. ] 2. The Deal: I then tell him — "For one month, you will wake up at 5am every single day" "You will carry heavy bags of groceries, scrub the floor, run errands in the heat" "You will do this according to my exact rules. No breaks unless I allow them. No complaints." He had no say in being brought to the store. He had no say in the terms. [We are required to pray five times a day including Fajr before sunrise, fast through hunger and thirst, other things too. and remain patient through hardship — all under specific conditions and rules] 3. What does he actually get? After a month of physical exhaustion under my rules — he gets the console But he only wanted it because I showed it to him The desire was mine to create. The reward was mine to give. [The reward for a life of obedience is paradise — the permanent fulfillment of desires by the same God who designed them] 4. What if he refuses or fails? He doesn't just miss out on the console I beat him. He has no way to stop it, no exit, no appeal. [Those who fail face not just the absence of paradise, but eternal physical torment in hellfire — burning skin, boiling water, described in the Quran in vivid detail ] The Questions: 1* So my very first question is what did the efforts of my child actually get him? . [ Did His efforts get him bread from the bread seller and the same bread seller actually created hunger in him ? ] 2* If a human being did exactly this to another human being — what would we call it? 3* Was this really a "deal" — or just terms imposed on someone with no power to refuse? 4* How fair does this System feel from our moral standards ?
