Why Is A Suicide Bomber Not Guided By God?
I looked at all references, except for several hours of videos that seem to be off topic. Is there any brief and summarized video or transcript that specifically describes who receives guidance, when receives guidance and how receives the guidance.
This post contains a summarized version in text: Discussion 22255 It also has the video lectures specific to this very topic. They’re only a couple of hours in length, and I highly recommend that you watch them in entirety. At one point I even raised a question similar to yours in one of the videos, and Ghamidi sahab’s response is included in the recording.
Every person’s case might be different, so I can speak only in general terms. In general, the person’s beliefs will continue to get challenged. This can happen from within or without. Situations might arise where the person shall be tested with varying degrees of strength. As the person continues to prove himself by denying his own desires and emotions in favor of the truth, he can be granted more opportunities to learn and get closer to the truth. Sincerely seeking guidance, continued contemplation and effort to address own shortcomings, and self accountability are some of the tools that prove very helpful. In general the deeper we know our own selves the closer we get to the truth. Seeking truth is a lifelong journey, not an event.
