Abdurraheem Green – Why does God hate people and why does He enjoy to punish them Q and A

			Welcome, sir. You know, my question is in general, okay.
		

			Goes back to the discussion that you had in the first of all, that believes that it is equal
suffering. Okay. I want to know that I mean,
		

			ever I complained about my life since I was a kid, I learned this from my parents, especially my
mother that you know, we all are here in this world, we were condemned to live this war, okay. And
we are condemned to suffer
		

			because of the heat that our forefathers Why am I
		

			okay, on a
		

			roof
		

			or Apple? And the thing is that, I mean, there are 114 on
		

			Zillow Rahmani Raheem was mentioned in the Holy Quran.
		

			But I cannot understand is that, first of all, I am an invoke person I know myself.
		

			But still, I have a pretty good amount of people that I hate. I hate them from the bottom of my
heart.
		

			What's new on Sci Fi I observed with my eyes that they are suffering or being punished. Because it
seemed that they did against me. I would not accept it. Okay.
		

			So my question to you is that why is God which is so merciful?
		

			so kind, so dear, and so great. Okay. He first of all,
		

			as people with J.
		

			For decisions, He also enjoys punishing them
		

			the afterlife. Okay.
		

			And why would you not forgive the sins of our forefathers ate M and E for just eating apples?
		

			We eat that's great. And I think we get the idea, brother.
		

			Okay.
		

			I don't know if anyone came to my if anyone came to my lecture. Yeah. If anyone came to my lectures
yesterday,
		

			you know, within that lecture is contained something of an answer to that? Yeah.
		

			And something of the answer to that is, first of all, I would have to say that with all respect to
the questioner, it's the most strange thing I ever heard from a human being that I hate people, the
bottom of my heart, but I can't bear those people to be punished.
		

			I think if that's really what you mean, I just can't, you know, understand that you really hate them
that much.
		

			The reaction of most human beings is when you really hate someone, and I think history bears
evidence to this. Yeah. Is that they take revenge. In fact, most of the best movies of the revenge
movies, right? Because you just think, yeah, you give it to them. Right? You know, you * kids,
you did this, you did that. Take him out. You know, when you when you see it, you feel and that's
just the movie. Right? So if that really happens to you, in the human condition, right. What you
have said I'm sorry, contradicts what I have observed what history tells us about human condition.
You know? No, you can't because we'll have a long discussion between you and me. Okay. Secondly,
		

			okay. The second thing is, is that your mother taught you something wrong. Okay, so maybe there's
the root of the problem there. Right? If you're brought up with a wrong idea from the beginning,
what comes from that may be a wrong idea. Okay. You see, no, Allah subhanaw taala did not create,
you know, suffering. Life is a test. Yes, life is a test. Okay, so this is the reality, and
sometimes the test is not suffering. Sometimes the test is in pleasure. In fact, the worst tests
sometimes are from pleasure. Right? Why did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said I don't
leave it
		

			Great a test for the men of this woman and the women?
		

			Well, it's because you know what, there's such suffering we may be but you know, it's because of the
pleasure of the woman. Okay? So not all the life, and the test of life is from suffering. Okay. But
we have to go back. And we have to say and listen, what we follow. Is this as Muslims, what we
believe is this, we ask the question, is there a God or not? We talked about this yesterday, the
argument, and the brothers only reflected that argument is the argument of the atheist, which they
put forward is an emotional argument. The argument about suffering in life and so on and so forth,
is nothing to do is as to whether God exists or not. Yeah, it's got nothing to do as to whether God
		

			exists or not. Right?
		

			We talked about how do we know that God exists? We went through that I can't go through that all
again. Right? Then we ask the next question. Is the Quran from God on us? And is Muhammad the
messenger or not? Now really, some people could look at this world and by the way they have, and
they have said that the god of this world is a cruel God who loves punishment and torture, and this
and that, right? And even you will find the way they worship the god is by doing these type of
things. Right? So some people may have reached that conclusion. But it doesn't mean that there is
not a good, we have to go back. And we have to say, is there a God or not? Okay? And we can say yes,
		

			how do we know there's a God? Because we live in an organized systemize universe and the most, you
know, sensible explanation is that there is a Creator. But then if we want to answer these
questions, why, why is the world like this? Why is this suffering? Why are these things why is this
what is going to happen? Okay, after we die, then that's not knowledge that we can get from our
intellect. We can't. That's only knowledge that you can understand from Revelation. That's only
knowledge you can understand from Revelations only if God tells you, this is the reason you have
been created. This is what is going to happen when you die.
		

			And this is what we believe the Quran contains. If Allah subhanaw taala, punishes people in Hellfire
for eternity. And to say that God enjoys it. I don't know exactly where that's from. Okay. Okay, but
certainly, if Allah punishing someone and he will most certainly punish people with the most
terrible and severe punishment more than we can even imagine. And the people will stay there Holly
Dean a female, they will never come out of the Hellfire. Right? Well, God will roast their skins,
and recreate their skins and roast the skins so they can taste the punishment. And that's the way
the nerves are, you get burnt once. It's a scientific fact. If you get burned once you don't feel
		

			the pain after that. So Allah will create the skin again, so they can continue to experience the
terrible pain. Right? So yes, there is no doubt that Hellfire is a punishment, even beyond what you
can possibly imagine. But if Allah punishes anyone in the hellfire, that is most certainly because
they deserve it.
		

			And I will tell you the other thing, it's because they chose that they chose it.
		

			Allah does not pick people up and just throw them in the Hellfire randomly this door that lot
paradise Hellfires this, wherever, like we throw cards on a table or something like that. No.
		

			Right? People who go to * go because they chose to do that. They chose to take that path.
		

			They saw it clearly. They knew this was the path to *. And they continued upon that path. And
they chose it. They knew that's what they were going, and they chose that they got what they
deserved.
		

			Right?
		

			And actually the injustice, the injustice, of denying what is Subhanallah if you just think what
Allah is asking, there is one Hadith. For me, really, this sums everything up.
		

			A man will stand in front of Allah on the day of judgment. And Allah will say to him, all my
servants
		

			if you have the world and everything in it, would you now ransom that to save you from the hellfire?
And you will say Yes, My Lord. And Allah will say to him, I asked for you less than that. I only
asked that you should worship Me and worship nothing else besides me. That's all Allah asked. is the
only thing Allah asked that we worship Him
		

			We don't make shit and we don't worship anything along with him. That's it. So Allah is asking from
us, but you couldn't even do that. So what do you deserve? What does that person deserve? So they're
just their punishment is just and Allah Spano Tala punishes them justly and that is what I believe.
Absolutely. So whatever it is, they get that because that is what they are deserving of. Right? And
whoever chooses to obey Allah, then you know what, they don't deserve paradise. Because whatever you
do, however much good you do, you don't deserve you can never earn Paradise by your deeds. In fact,
the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, No one goes to Paradise because of their
		

			deeds. They said Not even you Rasul Allah. He said, Not even me unless Allah bestows His Mercy upon
me, Paradise, you cannot earn it, because the beauty in the blessing of Paradise is way beyond
whatever amount of deeds you can do. That's the Mercy of Allah. That is the Mercy of Allah. Right?
And how is the Mercy of Allah, the Mercy of Allah is this right? If you do one wrong deed, Allah
marks it down as one wrong deed, you do one wrong deed, Allah marks it down as one wrong deed. If
you think of doing a wrong deed, but you stop yourself from doing it. Allah marks it down as a good
deed. If you intend to do a good deed, and even if you don't do it, Allah marks you down as a good
		

			deed. If you do a good deed and you fulfill it, Allah rewards it 10 to 700 times and then Allah
multiplies it on top of that, that is the Mercy of Allah, right? And then you know what, however
many sins you do, whatever you do, even the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, If your
sins were as great as the heavens in the earth, the heavens and the earth, my God, our galaxy, it's
10,000 light years across our galaxy, and is one of millions in the known universe. But if your sins
were as big as the heavens on Earth, and you were to ask Allah to forgive you, and you are not
making any partners with him, not only would ALLAH forgive you, but he will actually give you good
		

			deeds nearly as great as the evil deeds that you did to replace it. That is the Muslim.
		

			That is the missing.
		

			So, you know, brothers and sisters, what does the person who turns away from that mercy, what do
they really deserve? You know, Allah is the most just, this is what I believe brothers and sisters,
and Allah is the most merciful, He is the Most Compassionate, He forgives those who seek
forgiveness. So all of us brothers and sisters, let's turn to Allah right now, let's make Toba for
our sins because we've all got sins. And this allows us ask Allah subhanaw taala to forgive us for
all the evil that we have done in your ability to me
