The answer: There is no wisdom in the remembrance of previous generations and garments. For if the criminal remembered his crime, and the victim remembered what befell him, chaos, harm, and injury would spread among the people; therefore, they were prevented from remembering and were veiled by forgetfulness to preserve society and its righteousness. The reformation of their souls occurs through the guidance of the Heavenly Books, the traditions of the Prophets, and by the sending of believers to one another. Thus, souls are reformed and undertake new opportunities of reincarnation without remembering and without chaos spreading.

As for the fifth objection, it is: if this abode was found for the sake of purifying the soul from errors, this places us in a great predicament, which is that the world is more sublime than Paradise because in it we rid ourselves of our sins.

The answer, and from Allah help is sought: The world is an abode of trial and testing, and an abode of labor, not an abode of permanent residence. In it, we are tested: did we follow what Allah commanded and abstain from what He forbade? If that is the case, we take our grades and graduate to a place that is more elevated and better, and its duration is more lasting; and what is with Allah is better and more lasting.
