I think if a parent raises his child badly and after that child grows and still stick with what his parents taught him without learning himself then he would be responsible of his deeds, as he got chance still he did not changed. Thus, such person deserve punishment for his deeds

As for learning Islam, there is no excuse, as Allah test a person according to what Allah gave a person and that includes his intellectual ability. If that person, instead of learning himself (or believing and following after understanding from others) rely on others blindly than that person deserves to go to hell, as that person did not used the intellectual ability Allah gave him.

On the other hand, if he lacks in intellectual ability then what is required of him to follow is what he could understand from his limited intellectual ability. And that means, again he should try to learn and understand himself (from Quran or others) rather rely on others blindly (who might have spent years learning hence called ‘scholars’ … but might have even lower intellectual ability then him).

Peace Sa1eem

It’s not about whether the child chooses to stick with what his parents have given him or not … it is do with the opportunities that are open to him after being raised in a certain climate … even if he wants to change it will be much harder for him … That is the level of judgement given by Allah (SWT) … Also you made no attempt to explain sadqah jariya - if you are correct then why is it that sadqah jariya is a reality? Surely why should one person be given rewards for the acts of another?

Yes a murderer deserves punishment, but do you think that punishment will be the same if the murder was done by a scholar as opposed to a lay person? Of course not … the scholars aught to know better … Likewise … all people are judged according to their circumstances. They will not always be given full blame … but it will be apportioned to all people. This is why we have a duty to society it is because our actions impact society all the time in the ways we know or do not know.

Yes and we are judged on our efforts - not our achievements … which is a blessing from Allah (SWT) … so if a person “tries” to do good as opposed to a person who merely does “good” without trying the one who tries gets more reward and the one who does not try is expected to try to do more good according to his capability.

But note this that no one will enter Jannah except by the Mercy of Allah (SWT).
