The prophet was told, to say this in case people asked where "God/Allah" is:
Sura 2
( 186 ) And when My servants ask you concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.
God can hear you, either you prayed deep inside, or screamed loudly, he is the witness after all. Everything you do, he knows about it.
Though, life is a test. He told us about the whole story behind our existence here:
Sura 2
( 34 ) And when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
( 35 ) And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
( 36 ) But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."
( 37 ) Then Adam received from his Lord words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.
We are here on earth, because of this event that happened in the dawn of time. We must combat Satan's seduction, just like our fathers and mothers before us.
God knows what would happen, but what would happen would not happen if we didn't commit it to make it happen now, won't it? It would be a shame if God claimed to be just, and actually judged us solely without us having the chance to act.
No, we hold out destiny in our hands. If we saw God, then the test is ruined. We have what it takes to know the right from wrong; to combat the devil. And we won't succeed without the Lord's help. But a simple meditation session will point to him.
Let me challenge atheism with a question:
-How did the parameters of the big bang, get their values, so the explosion produce the universe we see today?
The big bang is a mere function, after all. Who filled its variables with their values?
