God – An Idea Of Burning People With Fire
‘because an extreme crime has been committed against God and it is only God who can decide punishment for such extreme crime.’ If someone commits an extreme crime against another person like mutilation for example- can that person decide any punishment they see fit? Can they choose to have that person burnt and then cooled for a bit then burnt again? Or do we think that there should be an equal response and a punishment that fits the crime? Eye for an eye? If someone is arrogant to an authority, in our fitra we would think it good that the authority let such a person go and do nothing- as it shows that the authority is ‘beniyaaz’ or ‘ghaniy’ and does not require the punishment of a mere peasant that is running their tongue.
I get the justice argument clearly and I know that the criminals of worst sorts cannot be left unaccounted for sure i have nothing against the justice and I know very well that these matters of hell and heavens are “mutashabihat” too. But Burning human being? Mentioning of their burned skin and their drink of being blood and pus is just unthinkable. I mean we as a society are growing day by day and humanity is finding more humane approaches towards everything and I have nothing soft for rapists, mass murderers etc but deciding to burn a human is just horrible and no way of treating any human being of worst kind, we cannot burn any living creature let alone a human being, so The God who has alot of attributes which we know through Quran and I know “Al qahhar” is one of them but people we are talking about burning men and women with fire and they are having drinks of pus and blood, what kind of personality has arranged such jail cell, no matter how good attributes that personality has but this act alone is just I am unable to comprehend
And why is sinning bad? Getting into meta-ethics here but I think its relevant
