Re: Professor vs. student: Discussion on God
^ What evil did He create, exactly? Jinns and humans? Then how come not all of jinns and not all of humans are evil? He created angels to be good so they’re all good, no exceptions. If He created us to be evil then how come there is good in jinns and humans? How come Iblis was a devoted servant of God for a good while if he was in fact created to be evil?
He gave us free will, that’s what He did. If we make use of this freedom to be evil, that’s our fault, not His. Being a true crime fanatic, I’m always amazed at how some of the serial killers have exceptionally high IQ. Did God give them that brain to plot murders and robberies or could they have used that brain to help the world like millions of other bright minds we know of? We know the shayateen are locked up in Ramadan but we still do wrong because we don’t need the devil to make us do wrong, we have a brain of our own and the ability to make our own decisions.
Who says He approves of evil? He wouldn’t have sent countless Prophets to us if He didn’t think there was ill happening in the world. The Judgement Day is planned for a reason - it will bring justice to those who’ve been wronged and will punish the wrongdoers. Forget physical pain and suffering, even if you verbally hurt someone, you’ll be answering for that on the day. And for every pain that has afflicted you during your time on earth, even if it is as minor as the hurt caused by the prick of a thorn, your sins will be wiped off as leaves fall from a tree. That is the merciful and just God I believe in.
There are lots I disagree with. Was abt to respond when i read the part abt if you verbally hurt someone. That is powerful. That along with what Muzna said few months ago " gussa is haram" are two things that will stay with me long after all this is over.
