Why Is A Suicide Bomber Not Guided By God?
Faisal, I went through all the references and videos, but it does not answer my question. A suicide bomber meets all the requirements for guidance that Ghamidi Sahib stated, except the he is an illiterate person, who is being guided by an evil person. Why Allah didn’t guide the bomber to go to the right person for guidance?
Just some thoughts on this: I think such questions come “naturally” to us because we ask them from our human/worldly perspective. Quran tells us over and over that there is an eternal life after this (and this life is like one afternoon or less in comparison), there is a LOT more that we don’t know (and even stuff that we don’t even know that we don’t know). With that in mind, everyone has their own circumstances and tests. And we are in no position to say how Allah will certainly judge them. We don’t even know how Allah will judge us, we just try to do the right thing and pray for His Rahmah! We ask similar questions about why kids die of cancer, or why a poor kid died of hunger when Allah is “Rabb/sustainer”. The key is that we don’t know what their eternal life would be like. The poor kid who died of hunger in this world may be MUCH better off than the rich folks who dint come to help etc So whether Allah guided someone or not, we don’t know. We dont know what the person actually went through internally. Its a test for them and indirectly a test for the society. We know He is Al-Rahmaan, His Justice and his Sunnah as described in Quran. We know we cannot comprehend his Hikmat. We need to educate ourselves and then try to help others with the same. As Ustadh Ghamidi points out, True knowledge includes knowing your own limits and the acknowledgement that you cannot know everything. Allah Knows Best.
No, I did not say that the bomber knows what he’s doing is wrong and he still does it. For some, that could very well be the case. For others, the doors for guidance might have already been closed because they repeatedly ignored the guidance that was given to them. Yet others might not have sought guidance at all, not used their resources to get it, not be patient about it, given into pressure from others or their own emotions and desires, or any other such reasons. Every individual case is different so we can’t generalize. However, God’s law of guidance is the same for everyone and it doesn’t change . On that basis we can say with complete certainty that there’s no one who unjustly kills while still being innocent . The only exception is if someone kills another human being by mistake.
Of course my response did not account for hypnosis, being drugged, insanity, etc. since in those cases one is not able to exercise their free will so there’s no question of guidance or misguidance.
They really arent sinsere, they just follow the emotions of there leaders like you said the “imams”. They might not be aware of it, but are you going to say god isnt, ofc god knows. cmon man
