Assalamu Alaykom wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

I totally agree with you and I’ll add that we need to move past emotional rhetoric. We need to be able to talk about fear and mercy, but also be pragmatic about our journey and endeavour to go to jannah.

The fabricated stories that are told by some are a waste of time and cause much harm as you suggested, and there’s no need for them. The Quran and The Sunnah are more than enough and it’s blasphemous for anyone to suggest that we need to fabricate something, as if The Quran and Sunnah aren’t complete somehow.

I think the problem is that a lot of parents scare their kids into doing good deeds and staying away from bad deeds…punishment is emphasized way more than mercy so you grow up thinking that you can’t really make mistakes. Same thing with a lot of speakers who always talk about hell and sins although I must say the younger speakers these days definitely convey a more balanced message.
I was listening to a lecture and the speaker was talking about how there was a man who kept losing his kids while they were young and he finally got a son who lived past childhood and ended up dying in his teens. The man got so angry at Allah and he ended up dying in the midst of his anger. The speaker indicated that this is because Allah(swt) wanted to expose that he wasn’t truly patient. I mean this isn’t even a hadith just a story so it bothered me that this assumption was made. Allah(swt) is al Rahman and al Raheem He doesn’t seek to trap people or make them fail subhanallah. Stories like this don’t really help people feel good about themselves…it instills too much guilt and the wrong kind of ideas about Allah(swt).

salam alaykom,

i am going to say something blunt, but its because i care.

i dont think we should philosophise on issues like that which are made quite straightforward by Allah alone. this is because i think faith doesnt require much logic as much as ot requires logically reaching the conclusion that Allah exist and he is one then taking what he said abt himself from his book and submitting with heart and

going deeply with our own analysis could lead to confusions which are avoidable if we directed ppl to what quraan and sunnah say and we ourselves submit to them without furthee analysis. because each case is different and ppl hav different commitment to Allah’s deen so the heart feels differently depending on every person.

i think the article wanted tohighlight theextent of Allahs mercy and addresses ppl who had reached a point if despaire from Allah’s mercy. which is a v important topic and i advise the author that if he sees scope of da’wah for himself in that field then he can try to speak to many ppl of knowledge on how to address this issue .

the sunnah addresses this, in its general sense if i understood correctly by hadith of the prophet :

one should not undetmine themselves but one should say myself has been incomplete.

or as he said it from what i remember : la yu7akkiranna imri2in nafsah bal falyakul nakusat nafsy

one should not b harsh on themselves when they do mistakes. but also one should realise that if it wasnt for Allahs mercy and forgiveness,.none of us would reach his bounties or his heaven

I am not of your faith, but I wish peace upon you. Thank you for this article. I believe no one is deserving of punishment, and we must be grateful for the gift of life and the force(s) that Maje it possible. I say this not to challenge Islam and the message of your Prophet (as you say, may peace be upon him), but I comment here to say that these teachings are universal and can help believers and all others, Godwilling. Again, thank you for your time and insight.
