Why Is A Suicide Bomber Not Guided By God?
Brother Faisal’s answer is the scholarly answer and it does make sense and I believe he has answered the principle behind the question – I just shared my layman thoughts. Brother Faisal is stating the “Just” nature of Allah and the usool/conditions on which He guides. Allah says over and over even for the nations He destroys after itmam-hujjat – “Un per zarra barabar bhi zulm nahi kiya jaata”. So brother Faisal is giving you the usool of how one properly presents oneself to Allah for guidance, the guidance is still in His hands according to His will/scheme or test/hikmat and He alone knows everything that goes in the heart. That’s why we are better off not to judge… and focus on ourselves first, then do as much good as we can for others.
