Ali Ataie – God Will Be Merciful Even if You Don’t Want Him to Be

Mean, according to Imam al Ghazali, in order

for someone to it's very difficult, very difficult

for someone to go to *, and they

don't go to * on a technicality.

No one goes to * on a technicality.

It's interesting. The prophet said that the flesh

of martyrs does not decompose.

That God, he preserves them. They're incorruptible.

You go to places in the world that

that, you know, afflict saints are buried or

they're not actually buried. They're in open air

tombs.

They're not decomposing

and that's something for the Muslim to think

about. When they exhumed Medgar Evers' body in

1993,

30 years after he was shot by a

Klansman on his driveway,

his body was in pristine shape, pristine condition.

There's something for a Muslim to think about.

God will be merciful even if we don't

want him to be. How can we possibly

judge someone

and consign them to the flames?

We don't know what that person's been through.
