How Does "Ittmame Hujjat" Make Sense???
In Surah Tawbah verse 5, which declares the final verdict of the annihilation of the disbelievers, it was made clear that if they convert to Islam, establish prayer, and pay zakat, let them go. So, many people finally converted to Islam. Whether they truly converted or not will judged by God in the hereafter. We know different people give up their prejudices at different stages of their lives, though they know the reality the entire time.
But it doesnt make sense because if someone has not completely understood islam then how can God decree the azaab at the first place and on the contrary if they had understood the message and delibrately still refused then why Allah would give them a chance to repent after giving the azaab verdict its completeley contradiction against his own sunnatullah. Then why didnt Allah forgive pharoah when became believer when he was drowning???
He was not declared the dweller of hell on the first place but after many warnings. Secondly God told that he won’t turn around but this was not the case for every one. on the other hand in surah mumtahina which was revealed before the conquest of Makakh, God told that still there were chances that the enemies might turn around. See the surah.
