Would you have believed if...?

A small thought. If there was no veil between humans and Allah (and the rest of the unseen), wouldn't more humans believe and submit to Allah? Wouldn't that be better than having a large proportion of humans punished due to disbelief in the unseen? Not really. Remember that the devil disobeyed Allah. Not knowing everything is actually a mercy for humans. It allows sinners and wrongdoers room for repentance and return to faith. For if people could see Allah directly, only immediate condemnation would be fair - there would be no room for forgiveness in lapses and sin. Thus, one reason Allah placed the veil seems to be allowing us to turn to Him. If humans were to see the Ghayb, would they all be pious? Allah knows best. Perhaps even more would be headed for Hell.
