Is HellFire Just? | Mohammed Hijab, Hamza Tzortzis, Subboor Ahmad & Abdullah Al Andalusi
As Muslims we are God-centric His rights The Exalted surpass ours and we are responsible for fulfilling them.
Knowing our appropriate relationship with the Creator is integral.
Just like the intrinsic value of a human being is more important than a tree according to our estimation, murder is then more foul than chopping a tree. As well, worshiping others along side or instead of the Creator is the most heinous crime in the estimation of God.
God's value and rights have significant implications and a grave consequences in Islam.
“Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allaah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin”
[al-Nisa’ 4:48]
“Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers”
[al-Maa'idah 5:72]
“Do not look at the smallness of the sin, rather look at the One Whom you are disobeying.” (scholars)
“you counted it a little thing, while with Allaah it was very great”
[al-Noor 24:15]
“And follow not (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allaah)” [al-Israa’ 17:36]
“It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allaah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision” [al-Ahzaab 33:36]
We ask Allah to make us of those who have a proper estimation of His Greatness, the One and is exalted above everything He Creates and He is capable over All things. Ameen!
The quotes below are from whyislam.
"Fully accepting the oneness of God is to accept that He is distinct from everything else.
It would not suit God’s majesty and glory to associate the limited attributes of His creation to Him because He is not restricted in any way, while His creation is.
He is the First with no beginning and the Last with no end.
Everything in the universe was created by His will.
He is not confined by space or time and He is the only One who is in control and provides for His creation"
"In the end, we must understand that our belief or disbelief in God does not affect Him in any way. Believing in Him, worshiping Him, and following His commands will only benefit us because we are in need of His blessings, favors and mercy. On the other hand, He does not need us because He is the Self-Sufficient Creator. However, it is never too late for a person to turn back to God, seeking His guidance and forgiveness by submitting to Him. "
