Why would Allah create humans who can do such terrible things?
In Surah Baqarah, Allah says that he said to the angels "I know what you do not know. And we taught Adam the names of all things, then presented them before the angels and said name them if you know how. they said glory be to you we have no knowledge except what you teach us."
Because we can also do such amazing things. If everything was perfect then there would be no change, no improvement. People would not learn or grow.
Humans create, and discover and build, and care for each other. Because he gave us freedom, there is also the freedom to be good or bad.
Compare the angels and humans. Angels cannot choose good, they can't possibly be bad. Whereas humans, who may be tempted to be very bad, can choose to be the greatest good.
