<b>Surely, Allah [i.e., Allah’s law] wastes not the reward of the Muhsinun." (9:120)</b>
"Surely, Allah [i.e., Allah’s law] guides not the plot of the betrayers." (12:52)
"Verily, Allah [i.e., Allah’s law] does not set right the work of Al-Mufsidun (evil-doers, corrupts etc.). (10:81)
"And Allah [i.e., Allah’s law] guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). (9:24)
<b>Martini</b> Did you read those Ayahs before?
Allah has said whatever he had to say to humanity in its finality, totality, and completeness is in the Quran (6:115, 6:38, 10:37, 5:48). There will not come any other book from Allah, nor any other prophet from Allah after our last prophet (PBUH) as declared by Allah in the Quran (33:40). Therefore, our relationship to Allah is only through His book, the Quran and, nothing else.
Allah tells us the Quran was sent to guide and give glad tidings to the mumineen (2:97). Those who will follow it will be guided, and no one can misguide them, and those who will not follow it, will be misguided, and no one can guide them.
It is our choice whether or not to follow the Quran and after our choice is made, we get what we deserve. It is our choice which data we eenter into the calculator, and based on that, we get the right or wrong answer (guidance or misguidance). We cannot say the manufacturer magically chooses who will get right and who will get wrong answers.
This is up to the person, and how he or she uses the calculator. In the same way, Allah does not magically choose who will be guided or misguided, rather it is up to us to choose the Quran as our guidance. If we choosethe Quran, we will be guided. If we choose anything else, we will be misguided and no one can guide us.
Martini, You are also posting just bits cut from a whole entire surah, why don't you post the whole surah? The meaning and purpose of the Surah is not only in one Ayah. I have been a muslim my whole life, and even I who have been reading the quraan for a long time cannot even fathom the meaning of any Surah by just reading of one its Ayahs. That makes the message imcomplete, which leads to misunderstanding.
You are only picking certain Ayahs, without reading and understand the true reason behind the entire Surah. That way you won't learn Allahs message nor will you even understand it. You have your flash lights only on the Ayahs where Allah says "I have sealed their hearts" or " they are dumb and deaf". We are always paid for our suspicions by finding exactly what we suspect. If Allah was truly that unfair (AstaqfuruALLAH) Then there wouldn't be so many reverts to islam. Look around you Martini, So many people are accepting islam everyday. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the whole wide world. So how can what you said
Quote:<b>Allah does not open non-believers hearts to Islam, He seals their hearts from Islam:</b>be possibly true? Feel free to enlighten us.
