God – An Idea Of Burning People With Fire
“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.” Speak for yourself, my fitra wants the Being that is also “Al Muntaqim” to teach the one who’s running their tongue a lesson as well. Rebellion in the Kingdom of a Perfect Lord is unacceptable, no matter how “beniyaaz” and “ghaniy” He may be. Anything less doesn’t do justice to His Greatness.
1. First of all, it’s not a parallel. It’s a simple principle that any one who believes in Qur’an has to accept. Like it’s not my conjecture, it’s a major point in Qur’an that Allah is Greater than anyone. Violating creation’s right deserve punishment and violating the right of Lord of Creation deserves greater punishment. Hurting isn’t part of the equation, doing injustice as in, not fufilling a right is the point here. And violating Allah’s right is a pretty big deal because concept of justice and all rights originates from Allah Himself. That’s just how sacred of a Being He is, you can’t just rebel against Him and not get a serious punishment for it. 2. Secondly I made similar question on this forum a while back so lol, we finally got here as I predicted. Truth is, you don’t need to hurt Allah to become worthy of punishment. I can plan to rebel and try to assassinate a king but if I failed to kill the king, then that doesn’t mean I haven’t violated any right, I would be branded as a criminal and punished for treason. So you can choose to rebel against Allah, you will fail obviously but just because Allah is unharmed doesn’t mean that you aren’t a criminal. You had the intention, you violated His right and insisted upon it all the way to death (as is the case for those guilty for eternal Hell). You will face conseqeuences of rebellion. You will face consequences of violating a right, whether it is creation’s or Allah’s. Whether someone was hurt or not, doesn’t matter. The intention was there, the attempt was there, so consequences must be faced.
