is this muslim argument accurate? "we can't doubt god testing us because it is gayeb (cannot be perceived or known by humans), something that only allah knows for example: children dying at birth"

It’s about as accurate as “there’s a giant spider behind you, but it disappears every time you turn around” in that you can’t demonstrate the inaccuracy of the claim beyond the basic absurdity.

And if Allah tests people but doesn’t explain the test or why they failed it by killing them at birth (or killing their baby at birth), Allah is not a good god. Allah is an evil god. There is no justice in a secret test.
