Where was GOD ????

Last night i was tricked into watching iraqi civilian executions by some guys…they lined them up…shot them in the head one by one…in the back ground you could hear them say " allah o akbar"… the grunting noise every victim made before taking the last breath was…my goodness it was horrible

  • *I think that was the most saddest thing i’ve ever seen in my life… bunch of helpless getting executed in the name of GOD.
    The only thing which was in my mind was…where was GOD when those innocent needed him the most…they were begging for mercy…crying while the next person to them was getting shot in the head… I really want to know where was GOD…
    I’ve been hearing this thing ever since i was a kid…God loves you 100 times more than your own Mom does.God listen to true prayers,God protects his people,God especially listens you the most when you cry out his name from your heart…and bunch of other jib jab

we read the history …God saved moses’s followers from pharoh’s army… Saved hazrat Ismail from dying with thirst …,Hazrat Issa was taken to paradise when he was about to be executed… Abaa Beel’s were sent in to protect Prophet Muhammad’s army,… so does he only listens to his prophets…??? and he has no respect for his normal creation…??? a normal human cant get his request approved since he doesnt have a luxury of being a prophet… wat a wonderful GOD we have…bravooo
Some people say …when its you time to die …nothing can save you … sure agree with tha…But after watching this type of innocent killing i sure do have an idea about God’s love for the his damn creation …
God and MAN both dont give a sht about Life…and tha is a sad reality…*
I really had my hopes high GOD i really did that i could count of you in time of trouble… but after that… no thanks
Peace

Re: Where was GOD ???

Allah:swt: says in Quran:

:bism:

153.** O ye who believe! Seek help in steadfastness and prayer. Lo! Allah is with the steadfast. **

  1. And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah “dead.” Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not.

  2. **And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the steadfast, **

  3. **Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah’s and lo! unto Him we are returning. **

  4. Such are they on whom are blessings from their Lord, and mercy. Such **are the rightly guided. **

{Al Baqarah:2}

-------------------------------------

20:131 Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.

{Surah Ta Ha}

-------------------------------------

**“Know that your wealth and your children are but a trial and that Allah has with Him a mighty reward.”
**Sûrah al-Anfâl: 28]

“And as for man, whenever his Lord tries him by honoring him and makes him lead an easy life, he says: ‘My Lord honors me’. But when He tries him by straitening his means of subsistence, he says:** ‘My Lord has disgraced me’.”**
Sûrah al-Fajr: 15-16]

“It is He who created death and life that He may try you as to which of you is best in deeds.”
Sûrah al-Mulk: 2]

And ALLAH:swt: says in Surah Al-Baqarah:

2: 214 "Do you think that you will enter paradise without undergoing such trials as were experienced by the believers before you? They met with adversity and affliction and were so shaken by trials that the Prophet of the time and his followers cried out “When will Allah’s help come?” Then they were comforted with the good tidings, “Yes, Allah’s help is near.”

----------------------------------------

In surah Al-e-Imran:

3:186 **Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in your personal selves; and ye shall certainly Hear much that will grieve you, from those who received the Book before you and from those who worship many gods. But if ye persevere patiently, and guard against evil,-then that will be a determining factor in all affairs. **

----------------------------------------------------

May Allah:swt: guide us all.. Aameen

Re: Where was GOD ????

Ahem ahem what is the point in getting tried and tested by losing your life. If it was a test for these people than I would say it was bit harsh, why we don't have same test for all. That would be fair at least.

Zobia: The question here is not if Allah knows the best. Of course if you believe in Him, He knows the best. But is God fair to all, has he given everybody equally, does He give everyone same kind of tests or is it some people are tested more harshly than others.

Re: Where was GOD ???

because as part of our faith, this life is only temporary anyway… as Allah:swt: again guides us in Quran itself on which we believe to be the ultimate truth:

64:9 The Day that He assembles you (all) for a Day of Assembly,- that will be a Day of mutual loss and gain (among you), and those who believe in Allah and work righteousness,- He will remove from them their ills, and He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that will be the Supreme Achievement.

Re: Where was GOD ????

Allah is just..

Maybe it was a punishment for those folks for something they did? Maybe it was a test? We don't know that. Whenever someone's number is up..it's up and they're going to go..

Re: Where was GOD ????

And when thousands of children die I am sure they also must have done something wrong to be treated so.

Zobia, Allah and God is same. I use both for the same entity.

Re: Where was GOD ????

Re: Where was GOD ????

Iraqi People are reaping what they sow.

Personal sins are more or less forgived by Allah all Mighty but Sins on Social Level are never forgiven, it takes generations after generation to pay them off.

History is full of such examples, we didn't realize the power of unity and Allah' message we were humilated by Christains, Hindus and on some occasions by atheists.

Don't blame Allah all mighty for your sins, as u have to pay what u have committed, in this world and other world.

Iraqi People were blessed with a country full of resources, how they thanked Allah all mighty? by declaring war on their neighbours and helping govt. for killing the innocents. As promised by Allah, this is the payback time.

I think the lesson to learned is be Just and Kind and then accept from Allah to interfere, if u ur not what HE what want u to be, then don't complain.

My Faith on Existance of Allah and his system grows even stronger when see or hear this kind of incidents.

Re: Where was GOD ????

God was where it always is - in the head of the fearful and ignorant. god isnt real, it is the fear of the unknown. everything around you will make sense once you are brave enough to see this.

Re: Where was GOD ????

well it doesn't make sense to me that a simple software program cannot be created without a team of software developers, then how come a complex and intelligent creation like humans was possible by just itself.

17

Re: Where was GOD ????

you can believe that a super duper god can be created just by itself though?

18

Re: Where was GOD ????

gods are created by human beings as idols.. on the other hand, God Almighty is NOT created.... He is not a creation... He is the Creator

Peace All

With regards to suffering, justice and tests.

We should know there are three such levels in the Qur'an:

1) All evil that befalls us is due to our own doing and all good that comes to us is due to God.

2) Allah tests us for our patience by hardship and He tests us for our thankfulness by reward and blessings.

3) If we leave this world in a state of injustice then the account in the hereafter will be where we'll be given compensation. It is the Day of Recompense when everything unfair will be made fair.

Why certain people have more trials than others?
Well Allah (SWT) Knows Best who can take more tribulation and who cannot handle the trials. Again it is better for people to go through hardship in this world so they can have their sins forgiven in the hereafter. But those that remember God in strife is different to those who remember Him when in happiness!

Remember the hereafter is the reality that is eternal, but this life is a mere flicker of the eye, but we perceive it not.

Look at natural disasters. Who is it that can say the dead are really victims? Why is it that we say that the children who die were deprived of a life? They could have grown up to be evil tyrrants, they could have been saved from that! Who are we to say one way or the other? But what we can say is that the onlooker is put to trial that he shall not fall in to a state of despair. That we should remember our own deaths and mend our ways.

Islam has it sealed in all angles.

If you live for this life and you truly do not believe in the hereafter then these killings that PEOPLE do will be seen as a Godly injustice, audzubillah! But really those murderers will be held accountable just as those who are dying will be held accountable. For the real life in the hereafter.
