Assalam alaikum ive being thinking and i was just wondering what everyone else thinks. If allah knows everything that has happend and everything that going to happen .why did allah create shaytan knowing he would lead us astray and if allah guids us then why would he command death to apostates

But that don't explain it .if allah wants to be worshipped then why create something to stop us from doing that

There is a lot of wisdom behind creation of Shaytan. Of them,

To show us how grievous sin arrogance is.
To teach us a lesson that we are weak and without the help of Allah, we can't even fight back Shaytan properly. Hence the command of "fastaiz billah", or "Audhubillahi minash-Shatanir-Rajim".
To to boost our spiritual development by opposing his deceits and turning to Allah for help. Man can be raised to a high degree in the sight of Allah, just by disobeying Shaytan by the help of Allah, which in return means obeying the commands of Allah.
Allah already created Angels with their constant high level, who worship Him all the time and who has no free-will. On the other hand, Allah also created animals with a very low degree who actually still worship Allah with their tongues of disposition. So, Allah being the most Wise, created human being in between Angels and animals, with their free-will capable of raising their status even above the levels of Angels, or going down decreasing even under the level of animals. The role of Shaytan is to ensure this process.

Hope these help.
