Why Would Anyone, In Their Right Mind, Commit Kufr?
Yes, arrogance is why a kafir would do it. But would you accept this act as mentally sound? Imagine if a man goes face to face with a powerful king that has decreed death for anyone who betrays him and then declare treason to that king right in his face. The man would be concluded as suicidal. Such a person needs help, not punishment. Would you agree?
1. I already explained my understanding. You can call it any name you like 2. I don’t know why u don’t want Iblees to have what we all have, free will. Just because Iblees knows Allah is always right doesn’t mean he can’t use his free will and try to prove Him wrong. We all do it. We consume junk food knowing it’s absolutely bad for us, or be rude to people knowing it’s sinful but we still do it, don’t we? It’s not sane or insane, it’s free will!! What made Iblees do it is not insanity but pride just like we consume junk food due to its good taste or be rude because of sense of power 3. Mental state of the traitor is that he believes his reason for treason worth more than his life. This is not insanity or mental instability but believing something is larger than life and that’s it. 4. That’s also not true that stubborn people know genuinely they r right. Stubborn means act wrong knowing that u r wrong. having or showing dogged determination not to change one’s attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so. Oxford dictionary A murderer keep denying his crime despite seeing cctv video of him coming the crime would be a good e.g of “ What about a not so normal circumstance, a scenario where they can’t be win and they know this?”
1. i want to ask a simple question to questioner.. What do you think about guidance? is it something which means conclusion of some xyz topic? what you think is it something Objective that truly and really exist in every Human?. I am not sure where you are going with this question but I am very interested to see where you are headed. I think man has internal guidance given to Allah in terms of what is right or wrong, it isn’t perfect but it is a fact that man always deal in right or wrong regardless if his morality is flawed or not. Secondly all divine guidance such as the Qur’an and whatever one correct guidance one may find in any other religious book being attributed to Allah, comes from Allah, I agree. Understanding of said guidance can be subjective i.e someone might think using alcohol in medicine is halal while another Muslim might think it is haram in every form. So guidance is objective but understanding of it can be subjective. It is more about if a person is intellectually, morally and spiritually satisfied with their current situation than being on objective truth because I think we are too limited to find absolute truth about everything. Nor any disbeliever in God thinks to fight with God, nor God punishes anyone because he caught any traitor. You quoted verse 59:16 and 29:55 but can you give your explanation of them that you wish me to ponder over? what if some rapist have guidance then will he commit rape? Depends on the guidance. An average rapist with simple guidance that rape is wrong but no guidance of day of judgment is likely to commit rape because chances of punishment is low. A Muslim rapist has more difficulty in committing rape but can commit it under the impression that there is a possibility of forgiveness or they might justify that the rapist deserved it (as is the case of victim-blaming “I raped her because of what she was wearing or it is justified to rape non-muslims” example). But no sane rapist would commit rape in front of a court judge or a law-abiding police officer (or group of police officers) because there is 100% chance of failure and punishment I assume. so why a rapist don’t receive guidance form God? I think a rapist that can be punished, has guidance from God but his rape does not equal to kufr, right? A rapist is a rapist, he is not a rebel of God, he is not challenging God openly. So he has guidance but he is not like kafir or Iblis that stood in front of God and challenged Him, for to challenge God in such a way is to receive guaranteed eternal Hell . An act of insanity I assume. I have read Surah Maryam 75th ayat. What do you wish me to ponder over?
