Re: Request for explaination
walikum salam
You are needlessly trying to tone down the harsh tone with which Allah Adressed the man. 'Unjust and ignorant' ... Just try this ! call anyone "Zalim" & "Jahil" and see how much offence he takes.
Assalamu'alaikum bro Code_Red
I think this statement needs to be taken in a general sense too. Humans are truly zalim because we do kill and we are truly ignorant because we take actions without looking at consequences. The generality in the statement is true and we should not bog ourselves down by trying to limit the meaning behind it purely to that event of the Trust.
With regards to 'no true intentions to return the trust in tact' to elaborate I meant just that ... we see gold we will promise our mothers hand in marriage to the owners of that gold, but then when it is time to pay up we realise we cannot meet the demands. This is a very strict analogy please try to understand this.
I actually agree with Dr. Sufi on the explanation he has given too, but I know it is linked with the time before our creation. The Prophet Musa and indeed Muhammad (SAW) were the fulfilment side of the trust for us to obey and accept them, but the ones of us who do not will not get to Paradise.
Read also Qur'an Surah 3:164 and
Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 381:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah's Apostle said to us, "Honesty (Al-Amanah) descended from the Heavens and settled in the roots of the hearts of men (faithful believers), and then the Quran was revealed and the people read the Quran, (and learnt it from it) and also learnt it from the Sunna." Both Quran and Sunna strengthened their (the faithful believers') honesty.
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 208:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah's Apostle related to us, two prophetic narrations one of which I have seen fulfilled and I am waiting for the fulfillment of the other. The Prophet told us that the virtue of honesty descended in the roots of men's hearts (from Allah) and then they learned it from the Qur'an and then they learned it from the Sunna (the Prophet's traditions). The Prophet further told us how that honesty will be taken away: He said: "Man will go to sleep during which honesty will be taken away from his heart and only its trace will remain in his heart like the trace of a dark spot; then man will go to sleep, during which honesty will decrease further still, so that its trace will resemble the trace of blister as when an ember is dropped on one's foot which would make it swell, and one would see it swollen but there would be nothing inside. People would be carrying out their trade but hardly will there be a trustworthy person. It will be said, 'in such-and-such tribe there is an honest man,' and later it will be said about some man, 'What a wise, polite and strong man he is!' Though he will not have faith equal even to a mustard seed in his heart." No doubt, there came upon me a time when I did not mind dealing (bargaining) with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim his Islam would compel him to pay me what is due to me, and if he was a Christian, the Muslim official would compel him to pay me what is due to me, but today I do not deal except with such-and-such person.
With regards to the Matrix worlds ... I would tend to say 'no', because Allah (SWT) is not limited to time. He is as Manifest Billions of Years ago as He is Now and as He Will Be. Often the Qur'an talks about punishment in Hellfire in the past tense, as though it already happened, this is because the reality of our past events being recorded in time are no different in substance to Allah (SWT) for any domain be it present or in the future. Allah (SWT) does not make mistakes either.
