Dushwari, you posted a similar question about why atrocities take place a long time ago.
Do such people always know better? What makes you so confident that they do? It is believed that fundamentalists and people who commit atrocities have psychological disorders such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder.....one of the symptoms of such a disorder being lack of empathy for others. Or perhaps in their quest to achieve, rule, conquer...they have sold their souls to the devil....and could care less how many innocent people they need to trample on or kill to get to what they believe is the "top".
Why God is not Present?
Hmm....there are many things Dushwari, that we can't perceive with our five senses but that doesn't mean they don't exist. For example, we learn in science class that all matter consists of atoms. But guess what? We can't see atoms. Scientists still **have not been able to clearly see an atom utilising the complex technology that we have today. We know now that diseases can be caused by bacteria and viruses. But think about the people who lived centuries before us. They thought diseases were caused by supersitious ideas. But WE know better. **Now imagine if the microscope was NEVER INVENTED. As a result....would we, living in the year 2009, still continue believing that just because we can't see germs, viruses, and bacteria.........that these microrganisms don't exist. Is that what we would believe just because we don't have our handy dandy microscope with us to help us "percieve" these mirorgnaisms? That's not logical assumption is it?
As I have answered before in one of your previous similar threads........it depends upon what you believe. The Quran reminds us frequently that life is a test. How could life be a test if Allah/God was to give you the answers and control our every action? How would it be a test if God stopped you every time you were about to do something bad. Think about it this way. Most teachers want all their students to do well on a test. So she does her best to prepare her students and equips them with the tools they will need to succeed. But when she passes out that test.........those students are on their own. If she were to give out test answers so freely.........how would that be a test?
As God decides just to be an Observer?
How would you so confidently know that God decided to be just an Observer, Dushwari? Yes, Allah sees and hears everything. Try reading Allah's 99 names sometime.......they tell you a bit about His job description.....and it goes beyond just being an Observer. If you do some reflecting you will find that there are many things that are controlled by Allah that we have no control over (rotation of the earth, changing of the seasons, etc). And there are many times in life when we go out of our way to make sure that things go according to our plans...........but then something goes wrong...maybe it rains, maybe a flight was delayed, maybe a last minute emergency....and our planning is spoiled. Someone once said that he knew God existed when he realized that his plans don't always go according to his ways. Sometimes God teaches us a lesson in this world for our crimes.........sometimes he delays our punishment for the next world. Something we like to call, "What goes around comes around." Sometimes God likes to give you enough rope to hang yourself. It is said that if Allah punishes you in this world....he's being merciful because it's better to get the punishment over with in this life........and that if HE really wants to punish you, he'll give it to you in the next life.
Look, Dushwari.........when Allah made Adam and told the angels he would endow him with free will.....the angles were scared. They asked Allah why He would want to create a creature that would cause bloodshed and disaster. And Allah told the angels that He knows what they do not. And he bestowed upon human beings the title, "The Best of Creation." Why would He do that if there are those among us who are so cruel? Well.........it's because Allah knew that the human race ALSO has the** potential** to do immense good.
When people are committing atrocities.........what is everyone else doing? Sleeping? Instead of blaming Allah, shouldn't we think of ways to make a positive change? Not just thinking and brainstorming.......but actually putting ideas into action? Blaming Allah is the easy way out. He has equipped us with intellect and much more. Why not ask ourselves, "Is the suffering around me supposed to be a test for the witnesses to see what they can do to help?" "If someone is starving, is that a test for me to see if I will help the person or at least spend some of my wealth on the needy?"
Anyone can point a finger at others even at God........but it takes great courage to point that finger toward ourselves and ask what we're doing to better things.
Masha Allah ............ Jazaka Allah..........
Very Logical Replies...............
But
You have Quoted QURAN , ESMAI HUSNA (God Names ) , If some one will not believe in Allah , Quran and Muhammad(pbuh) ............. Then...??
